What every other candidate can learn from McCain
There are two things John McCain does that would make this election much easier on the voters if every other candidate did them as well:
1) McCain does not lie. You might not agree with what he says, or you may think it sounds crazy, but you can always be sure that McCain genuinely believes it. He's not saying it just because some poll-watcher told him to.
2) McCain's speeches are in front of small audiences by design: he picks people at random to ask questions, and he will always answer those questions. No hand-picked people following scripted questions there. He is not a "handled" candidate.
If you're worth less than $5 million and you vote for McCain, you're a loser.
