And McCain has spent his entire life putting his country first, not himself or his party. He has a long history of working with Democrats to co-author and pass bills, and he is the most centrist Republican in the Senate, having voted with his fellow Republicans only 57% of the time in 2006. He has stood up to and opposed fellow Republicans very vocally, on everything from immigration to campagn funding to the Iraq War.

By contrast, Barack is the most liberal Democrat in the Senate, voting with his own party over 95% of the time. The only bill he worked with Republicans on was a no-brainer that was easily passed by voice vote alone, nothing contentious at all. Barack has never stood up against his own party while in the Senate, and never sided with the opposition against them on anything of any importance. In fact, he very often doesn't even vote at all, just responding with "present!", as if they were taking roll call in school, not deciding matters of great importance to the country.

If unity matters to you, then select the candidate who puts country first, and whose convention shouted "USA!", instead of the candidate who is only in it for himself and who loves to hear his own name being shouted, not his country's...
