re "McCain is a good man. ..."
Yes, I agree with you.
His response to this statement from one of his supporters "I can't trust Obama. I have read about him, and he's not, he's not — he's an Arab." was amazing & spontaneous.

"No ma'am," McCain said. "He's a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about.

He (Obama) is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as President," McCain said. "If I didn't think I'd be one heck of a better President I wouldn't be running, and that's the point. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments, I will respect him. I want everyone to be respectful, and let's make sure we are. Because that's the way politics should be conducted in America."

Our current Idiot in Chief would have embraced any criticism of an opponent.
