It's hard to dislike a guy who expected folks to vote for him due to platform as opposed to having a famous father, being a combat veteran, a POW, or marrying a rich wife.
No, I'm not being facetious.
We've all seen folks milk each and every one of those things -- deserved or no -- for votes believing adulation was owed them. (Like the Vietnam loony who has spent his entire life feeling he can bitch about society, without actually doing anything, because he "went to 'Nam.")
Still, I much preferred McCain of 2004 to 2008.
