He was too bland for the media. He by far is the most accomplished candidate running on more than just being political.

What have any of them done, except McCain's military career, outside of politics.
Exactly. As Charles Krauthammer said, the reasons they other guys don't like him are very simple: he's rich, smart, and good looking.

Come on...how many disparaging comments did Huckabee make about Romney's money? And then there's McCain's idiotic comment that he served for patriotism, not for profit. What a moron...as if building a company, creating jobs, and creating wealth is evil?

I'm not sure there's anything McCain has said this election season that made me more angry than when he said that.

Now you know how people feel when they are accused of being un-American when they don't support the Bush/Cheney war agenda.

Bull. I can't speak for others, but I've only accused people of being un-American when they politically position themselves to benefit from defeat.

McCain himself had complaints about how the war was being run. No one called him un-American.
