I was particularly struck and humbled by the words of Charlie Cook in
today's National Journal:

"At this point, John McCain probably can't win without divine
intervention. Say what you will about the campaign he has waged and
the running mate he picked, but the collapse in credit markets and the
stock market may very well have ended his chances of victory,
notwithstanding anything he could have said or done differently. The
senator from Arizona is a good man, who served his country admirably.
And many would say that he deserved a better chance than he got."

No matter what your politics, John McCain is an American hero.
Mcain was a P.O.W. Thats to bad. But it doesn't make him a hero.

How about flying over enemy territory and getting shot down? Does that
make him a hero?

No.

Well I think it does. Going into battle where you get shot at qualifies.
He did do his duty fighting for his country.

I think even landing a jet on a carrier deck qualifies him. You probably
have no idea how difficult that is.
