mccain is comfortable in his own skin. nixon wanted approval. there is no comparison.

Doesn't care what anyone thinks of him? Are you kid'n me? He has been an attention seeker for a while now. He used to go on IMUS just to be on IMUS.
The guy even went on TVG at Del Mar(again for no particular reason.) He and Nixon aren't uniter types. They are fighter types. Those types do poorly with this job. Those who are most correct for the job(personality-wise) have done best with it. Those who atleast create the illusion of being a negotiator/uniter type have done the best at handling the job.( Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton types. ) For sure, there is one of those here(OBAMA,) and there is the more combative type personality running against him(McCain.) This is primarily a negotiating job, and it suits certain people better than others. To be honest, Hilary wasn't the right personality for the job either(at all.) OBAMA has the right personality for it. Obviously, politics of somebody are a factor, but people need to look at the type of person best equipped for this type of a job. It's a frustrating job..They have the responsibility, but not the power they often would like to have. It, no doubt, would feel like a no-win situation to most who did it. That's the way it's gunna feel to McCain too.
