John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936) is the senior United States Senator from Arizona and presidential nominee of the Republican Party in the 2008 presidential election. McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. He became a naval aviator, flying ground-attack aircraft from aircraft carriers. During the Vietnam War, he nearly lost his life in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. Later that year while on a bombing mission over North Vietnam, he was shot down, badly injured, and captured as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese. He was held from 1967 to 1973, experiencing episodes of torture and refusing an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer; his war wounds would leave him with lifelong physical limitations. He retired from the Navy as a captain in 1981 and, moving to Arizona, entered politics. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, he served two terms, and was then elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, winning re-election easily in 1992, 1998, and 2004. While generally adhering to conservative principles, McCain has gained a media reputation as a "maverick" for disagreeing with his party on several key issues. After being investigated and largely exonerated in a political influence scandal of the 1980s as a member of the "Keating Five", he made campaign finance reform one of his signature concerns, which eventually led to the passage of the McCain-Feingold Act in 2002. He is also known for his work towards restoring diplomatic relations with Vietnam in the 1990s, and for his belief that the war in Iraq should be fought to a successful conclusion in the 2000s. McCain has chaired the powerful Senate Commerce Committee, and has been a leader in seeking to rein in both pork barrel spending as well as Senate filibusters of judicial nominations. McCain lost his bid for the Republican nomination in the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush. He ran again for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, gained enough delegates to become the party's presumptive nominee in March 2008 and was formally nominated at the 2008 Republican National Convention on September 3.

This is work I did three [sic] years ago They haven't talked about the fact that I was a civil rights lawyer. They haven't talked about the fact that I taught constitutional law.

We don’t know if it is out of curiosity or out of sympathy, but Sarah Palin might just cemented her career in Prime Time TV if this presidential election thing does not work out. 37 million people tuned in to watch her convention speech just a million less than Senator Barack Obama’s speech last week at the Democratic National Convention.

"He [McCain] says she. When he speaks about the nation he says she. When Obama talks about the country he says 'our country' or 'this country'. But McCain makes it personal, like it's a being of its own." That was the opinion of a Democrat.

Republican convention: McCain falls back on biography as he struggles to connect with Republican activists. -- It must be galling for John McCain, who has spent eight years, more or less, running for president, and 21 years in the Senate, that after four days of convention hoopla the only time he truly connected with the Republican activists...
