But I have a concern about McCain. I just read an article in Newsweek about how he was a Prisoner of War in Vietman for 5 1/2 years.

They also mentioned that he had a chance to go home after one year but refused to leave his fellow prisoners (heroic, but pretty stubborn). My question is this: Wouldn't an ordeal like that leave some seriously emotional scars? You would hope that the President would be 100% sane. They also talked in the article about him being famous for his temper and for telling other Senators to fuck off. I would hate to think that the President of the US could make big decisions in the heat of anger. McCain seems to be a great candidate and he's the only major Republican candidate that doesn't turn my stomach, but that Newsweek article made me go "hmmmmmm".
