McCain

Generally speaking I wouldn't be unhappy with a McCain presidency. For the most part my vote is not going to an individual candidates personal feelings on particular issues but on their personal character and who I think he/she will surround them. There are a lot of people who have to make important decisions; the president is simply the most visible.

A president's character is of utmost importance. We can't have our president hitting the bottle like ole' Rummy Nixon can we? It's a tough job that places incredible strain upon the mental and physical being of the person doing it...and they have to be able to stay standing.

McCain is a strong personality mentally, though his physical endurance is obviously a big question mark. More concerning to me however is some of his foreign policy. I worry that the people he would surround himself with would be all too familiar. There are a lot of faces I never want to see in D.C. ever again.

Here is a good roundup of McCain's potential liability as Commander in Chief.
