JOhn McCain has said he never brings up his POW status.
One of the things I've never tried to do is exploit my Vietnam service to my country because it would be totally inappropriate to do so.
We all know that is not true.
We have gotten to a point in this campaign where that is all he has.
I do not denigrate McCain's service. However, I, like Wes Clark, don't think it qualifies him for higher office.
Still, you know he is going to use it, and he will most likely use it in the debates. So Obama has to be ready with a great response. And not just the "We all honor McCain's service, but..." response.
Obama has to take him on. He is showing signs that he will. But he has to do it in such a way that McCain can't sit on his pitty pot and whine over this "elitist who never served" calling him out on his incessant pandering.
So, I am asking you all to come up with a response. Nothing mean, nothing denigrating. Just a reasonable response to what I know is going to be McCain's response to a question he doesn't like in the debates.
Meanwhile, look at all the times McCain or his campaign has brought up the POW stuff.
