John McCain
's poll rating
s matched
Barack Obama's
poll ratings in the 2008 presidential race until the economy crashed, taking
with it John McCain
's poll rating
s and
presidential bid.
John McCain is the son and the grandson of US Navy Admirals, and all but
2 years of
John McCain
's adult life have been in public service: 23 years in the Navy, 4 years in the
Congress and 21 years in the Senate.
But
John McCain
's true claim to fame dates back to the Vietnam War.
After being shot down, wounded and captured by the North
Vietnamese army, John McCain was offered an early spot in the prisoner exchange
program after his captors identified him as the son of the US commander in the
war. John McCain declined and waited 5 more years for his proper turn. John
McCain
's loyalty to those around him in his
public life has been exemplary.
John
McCain is also the grandson of an Episcopalian preacher, and was raised and
schooled as an Episcopalian. Since his second marriage to Cindy McCain,
he has been attending her Baptist church, but questions remain about
John McCain's beliefs.
John McCai
n has
foreign policy
credentials but is weak on
the
economy and
Christian
issues. He opposed a Constitutional ban on gay marriage and advocated
abortion in some cases.
John Mc
Cain also called
Islam, which
denies Christ's deity, an "honorable religion", and confuses
Mormonism with Christianity.
Despite
reservations, his candidacy ratin
g
was raised from
C to
B- after
Sarah Palin was chosen as his 2008 running mate. Should he decide to run again in 2012,
our ratin
g of his candidacy would restart in this range.
