the letters POW do not spell POTUS. Such voices as those of Wesley Clark and Jim Webb are correct to bring some balance and perspective to the issue and wipe some of the steam off the windows.
McCain says, "I don't have to tell you, old comrades, I hate war." Three generations of veterans in the hall applaud. For all the electrifying moments at Obama rallies, there has never been one quite like this.
Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, each in their own way, tell a story about America, who we are and where we are going. These are their personal narratives.
