The world we currently live in would look much different, IMO much better, if McCain hadn't been slandered by Karl Rove and was elected POTUS. Even if 9/11 still happened our response would have been confined to Afghanistan and I'm confident we'd have snagged Bin laden much sooner. It was borderline heartbreaking seeing what McCain became in '08 in an attempt to win the office.
Talk about a rare moment. I am giving SSF rep for this post.
In 2000 McCain was a "maverick" who upset the Republican establishment by not following everything they proposed lock step. He was not afraid to reach across the aisle to get what he wanted done.
In 2008 he was a lap dog for the establishment.
