I think McCain scares a lot of people. People see Bush in him. I can understand why. But there is absolutely no love lost between him and Bush. The two can't stand each other.
My opinion, based on what I see (and we all view things through our own experiences) is that McCain will not be as diplomatic as Clinton or Obama. And that is needed. Desparately needed. But he won't be as bad as Bush. Maybe its that I hope he won't be anywhere near as bad as Bush. I'd like him to support troop withdraw, don't like his statements that we'll be there 100 years if that's what it takes (he really should not have said that), but he does defend his position on staying in Iraq well (in short, we need to ensure the Iraqi gvernment can survive before we withdraw). I don't agree with his reasoning, but the reasoning isn't flawed or wrong. I just disagree with it.
I do not believe he'll be a cowboy diplomat. However, other nations may percieve him to be another Bush, another cowboy diplomat. Which won't help.
