McCain’s political appeal has been more nonpartisan and less ideological compared to many other national politicians. His stature and reputation stem partly from his service inn the Vietnam War. He also carries physical vestiges of his war wounds, as well as his melanoma surgery. When campaigning, he quips: “I am older that dirt and have more scars than Frankenstein.”

Throughout the campaign Obama has emphasized the issues of ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence and providing universal health care, at one point identifying these as his top three priorities.
John McCain’s position on health care is to provide a federally funded health services to all Americans. Unfortunately, this will only benefit those in the upper level of the society and will jeopardized the health care of the common people. His views on terrorism is to fight them to protect the safety of American democracy. He is not in a position to immediately withdraw American soldiers in Iraq.

Both nominees were providing sensible and general health care for everybody in America. Although, they differ in the execution. Both candidates have provisions for security of jobs for Americans but, they differ in the formulation of how hobs will be provided. Both presidential nominees were in agreement to fight terrorism whether in America or from its source.
