In contrast, John McCain has 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service, and 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi" |
How many voters will consider this relevant enough to vote for McCain over Obama. I don't think "experience" will be an issue, based on what I've seen, read, and heard.
Age, and positions will likely be more of an issue.
McCain's rank in the Navy was fairly low. (No direspect, but he wasn't in a leadership position.)
