I like John McCain. Of course, what I like is a public image not necessarily an accurate reflection of the man himself, but he strikes me as straight-forward, principled, loyal and strong.
Yet he makes me nervous.
I like principled obviously, but in McCain's case--what are the principles and should I be worried about them? In many ways he seems like a Bush clone--strong on defense, too liberal on just about everything else. I hate the fact that he voted against the tax cuts. Not good, not good.
Lots of buzz about McCain asking supporters to vote for Bush in the straw poll. Some seem upset that he isn't taking it more seriously, but how seriously should we take a straw poll in which Senator Frisk is widely expected to win? Gimme a break.

If you like straight talking and principled, you make want to take a look at Chuck Hagel. He is also considered to be outspoken and principled and is often compared to McCain (both are Vietnam vets and are fiscal conservatives). Chuck Hagel is more conservative than John McCain on some issues (Hagel voted for the tax cuts).
