    One of the better moments of the 2008 campaign, one of the very few Presidential campaigns where neither candidate went to the gutter. We deserve such campaigns, and we deserve such high calibre candidates. Now, it's up to us all to bring sanity and civil political discourse back! R.I.P. Senator McCain.

      He was a fn traitor! Look it up. Hanging w terrorists, pushed fake dossier, smuggling routes thru his districts. Don't be blind. Plus, he sang like a bird to the enemy.

    What happened to the Republican party? I didn't vote for McCain or Romney, but they were decent men and would have been at least adequate Presidents. Now, look what we've got and the majority of the GOP are still complete total Trump sycophants.

      Had he not picked Palin he very well could've won.
      I liked Obama but I kind of wonder what a McCain presidency would've been like. He's definitely not a typical republican and I mean that in the best way.

      He actually very nearly put John Kerry on the ticket with him, as Kerry seriously considered putting McCain on the 2004 ticket with him. They were great friends and senators.
