Differences: (I'm still undecided at this point, I find Obama\McCain to be the best pair of choices I've seen in a long time.)
McCain (different than Bush)
-has a history of working WITH democrats and not being obstructionist or beligerant
-Not a silver spooner that got where he is via nepotism (see Gore, Bush)
-Intelligent
-See's shades of grey and compromise to issues
-Won't be influenced by nor have staff like Cheney etc.
-Doesn't seem to surround himself with yes-men and run off those that oppose him (Collin Powell)

5th he said on a intervue that he will take all advise from anyone including his VP
6th he fired his econmic adviser and good friend for telling america to suck it up

McCain would not be where he is today if his father hadn't had an influence in his military career. His academic skills weren't the best (bottom 2% of his class).

McCain's involvement with the Keating 5 makes me think he could/would have a similar staff make-up.

Stretch your mind and tell us how Barry's admin will be different. Sure he'll raise taxes to redistribute income, give us tire pressure gems and drain our strategic oil reserve for short term gain but what else will really be different? The dems took control of Congress and have done virtually nothing but go on vacation.
OMFG can you just let a thread deliver. way to hyjack a thread by the 2nd reply
LOL, whatever happened to that news story that Jaybone was crowing about. You know, the one about "It's Final! Americans are tired of talking about Obama!"
Here we have a thread about McCain. And a specific question about McCain. And all people want to do is talk about Obama! LOL!
Didya just HAPPEN to read the bloody title of this thread??????
Yeah.....but only someone with limited outlook would be looking at comparing a completely different person with someone who was not able to run again.
