I agree with diverseLA, however, on the tonight show with connan obrie'n when mccain was the first guest then fallowed by frank caliendo, he made an owesome job impersonating mcCain during the inverview.
I think Frank Caliendo is one of the top impressionists out there. But, I'm not really feeling his McCain impression. I think he needs to work on it a bit more and perfect it. I've heard other comedians do it, and they sounded a lot more like McCain. Caliendo sounds like one of his other characters he does, whose name escapes me right now. I hold Caliendo to a higher standard, maybe that's why I'm disappointed in his impression. The way he keeps his arms up like T-Rex is on-point though.

God forbid we should vote for a man who served his country with honor and suffered 5 years of torture upholding a tradition of courage and resolve. A true patriot is a hateful image...if your a 'progressive'! The 'progressives' heroes are the likes of Hanoi Jane and Traitor Kerry, who were buddies with those torturing American prisoners of war, but that's okay, because a true 'progressive' believes in torturing patriotic Americans, just don't torture those poor terrorists....
As a "progressive" myself, I, and most progressives give a lot of respect to John McCain for enduring his torture and time in captivity. HOWEVER, just because a person is a POW doesn't make them eligible for President. That's not a reflection of their judgment, views, and policies (which is what I vote on). If a guy who wasn't a POW has better policies than a guy that was a POW, I'm voting for the guy with the better policies.
McCain's sacrifice may not make him 'eligible' for the Presidency, but it does show the character of the man, and his unquestioning love of country. As a conservative, we are not going to agree on views and policies, but as for judgment, for Obama to run for President at this point in his career, with his limited experience, shows a lack of judgment and a great deal of arrogance. The Presidency is not a job that lends itself to 'on the job training'.
Obama proved his judgment when he spoke out against the war and predicted all the ills it would cause for America -- which all proved to be true. Obama wished his predictions wouldn't come true, but they did.
70% of the country now thinks going in to Iraq was a bad idea. Compared to back in late 2002 in the buildup to the war, when over 80% of the country thought going in to Iraq was a good idea.
Saddam was the face of evil, a dictator, tyrant, murderer. Americans were behind the decision to take him out. Then things turned sour, the fallout not foreseen and Americans were played by the media with the pictures of dead soldiers. BUT, when was the last time you saw anything in the msm about Iraq? Good things are happening, routed insurgents, prosperity a friend in the region, a strong FREE Iraq. The surge worked, but most don't know it, or don't want to. We have not been attacked again...
Obama and most progressives like myself do not dispute that Saddam was a bad guy. What we dispute is whether or not it was worth the billions (and will be over a trillion) of American taxpayers dollars, the thousands of American lives, over 100,000 Iraqi lives, America's deteriorated standing and mistrust amongst the rest of the world, and the fomenting of more terrorism and destabalization in the Middle East. Was it worth it? Also, there are evil dictators around the world. Why single out him?
As a conservative, and military wife, we are not going to agree on why's and reasoning of taking military action. My reasoning for supporting McCain are summed up in this quote:
"McCain's lifelong record of service to America, his battle-tested courage, unshakeable devotion to principle and clear grasp of the dangers and opportunities now facing the nation stand in dramatic contrast to the tissue-paper-thin résumé of his Democratic opponent."

Clearly, Obama showed better judgment on Iraq.
