Although I think McCain is an upgrade, I don't see him as being a leader. I see him being more comfortable as a leader of those against a leader. His nature is to get hot, and do something to make it tough on somebody who did him wrong. That's not that big of a deal when you're a senator. A president looking for revenge against enemies will not be nearly as cute as a moderate Republican Senator "trying to find common ground" with Democrats. He's a leader of opposition to something.The President's job has to be less combative, and it won't be very much fun to a guy like this.

scuds, i'm not sure how you make the leap from a guy who doesn't care what anyone thinks of him and is willing to be his own man even at his own personal detriment (mccain) and one who is so concerned about other's opinion of him that he compiles enemy lists.

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