A couple of problems
response to andrewprice's post Meet The Candidates
One of your advertisements than links to this blog post says, "Q: Which candidate was ranked 894 out of 899 students in highschool?" The answer to this question is NONE OF THEM. McCain graduated 894 out of 899 from the Naval Academy. That's still kind of bad I suppose, though just getting into the Academy, much less graduating from it, is an achievement most of us could not attain.
Also, I find myself a bit bothered by the title of this video series: "Love it or fix it." Seems like a false dichotomy to me. Indeed, I don't want anyone's help fixing this country if they don't already love it!

Attainment
It's EASY to get into Annapolis if your daddy and granddaddy were admirals!
He's a dummy just like the one in the White House now!
False dichotomy? Wow... big word.

bottom of his class
The problem w/McCain's time at Anapolis was his wreckless attitude and underperformance. He received the best assignments, those reserved for the top of the class, despite his lackluster showing. He crashed five planes in his career, yet was never disciplined. And was NOT offered the Admiral position. He retired shortly after becoming Captain.
