    John McCain's Big Advantage in the Presidential Campaign

    In what's billed as a great year for Democrats, their candidate for president has a big problem. Less than half of Americans think Barack Obama would be a good commander in chief.

    In what's billed as a great year for Democrats, their candidate for president has a big problem. Less than half of Americans think Barack Obama would be a good commander in chief. Almost three-fourths say that about John McCain. We look at McCain's record in the military and in the US Senate. Also, Barack Obama in Jordan, and Radovan Karadzic, who openly practiced alternative medicine during 13 years on the run, has been arrested on charges of genocide.
