2. I think so too
It hits McCain hard where he's supposed to be strongest. He's got a terrible record on Vet's issues.

7. Similar to previous announcement. Amazing to me that this doesn't get
more attention in debates and by pundits. McCain really, really weak on veterans' affairs.

8. right just like their other one
I'd hammer him with this all the time. Then again, I haven't ever won anything. Well, VP of Native American Club in High School is a pretty high office I guess. :)
