Video: McCain's a war hero so elect him president

Here’s his new spot in South Carolina. These ads always leave me torn: They’re not quite the absolute inverse of the chickenhawk argument, but they’re close. Character does matter but it’s a fine line between pitching Maverick’s steely resolve and laying a subtle guilt trip on the viewer that after enduring such an ordeal on our collective behalf the least we can do is vote for him.

Whatever it takes, I guess. I confess, I’m more likely to vote for him every time I see one like this.
