What have you done for us lately?

McCain is running against Obama as a resume candidate, experience versus policy platform.

That is fine but, what has McCain done for anyone lately?

Most of the time at the RNC convention was spent discussing McCain's war service, forty years ago. Was McCain's record really more heroic than John Kerry's? Shouldn't someone point out that the same delegates who were praising war hero McCain were mocking Kerry's three purple hearts with band aids?

McCain spent five and a half years as a POW. Coincidentally, he spent about the same length of time bucking his party in the wake of losing the 2000 primary to establishment favorite George W. Bush.

Democrats should be pushing on this. McCain has had a very limited scope of interest in the Senate. He is by all accounts utterly uninterested in anything other than warfare. He bucked his party after Bush slimed him in the primaries with the 'black love child' talk. But ever since he realized that he had a chance to win the 2008 nomination he has been busy pandering to the party ideologues, no matter how nutty their ideas.
