How exactly is the left going to use McCain's POW status against him? If anything, it is one of McCain's biggest assets. One could argue that he helped to catapult himself back into the race when he said he was "tied-up" during Woodstock. Even his Christmas ad highlighted an experience he had when he was a POW.
If the left starts to use McCain's service against him, they can kiss independents, and the all-important white male vote goodbye. McCain does have some skeletons though, which could muddy the waters.
One thing to remember, if we do have a McCain/Obama race, is that they have a history of not getting along and we could see it spiral out of control. I hope not, and I have felt since the start of this campaign that Obama/McCain provides the best chance for a civil race.
This was the EXACT same thing said about Kerry back in 03 right before he was nominated, that because he was a purple heart vietnam vet this would be one of his strong suits(because he was opposing the war), but of course they were able to make his vietnam experience out to be a fraud/lie and that it was all done for "political gain."
