how can anyone say McCain doesn't have a stance on issues? He'll answer any question at all asked in his famous, "town hall forums." Plus he's taken strong stances, even on contraversial issues like the war in Iraq and his illegal immigration reform.

And character? Sure he's not beyond a little political duplicity during campaign season (like everyone else), but he's stood up to bush on torture which went against his party...and in fact has shown a history of going against his party base to compromise on an issue that he believes in. Caring more about legislating than fighting your, "enemy," across the isle is fine character.
