If elected in November, John McCain will be the first president in decades with a very personal stake in the decision he makes about using military force.
McCain's son Jimmy is a Marine who completed a tour in Iraq in February, and son Jack is just coming out of the Naval Academy.
Both vice presidential candidates Sarah Palin and Joe Biden are preparing to deploy to Iraq as well.
Americans will at least know that their leaders are sharing in the sacrifice they're asking of other parents when they send troops into combat.

Obama's Whining
Interesting because USA, God and Country, and family are not "isues", but the Democrats did seem to cover plenty of these. The economy, health care, the environment, and foreign relations were all thoroughly discussed topics at the Democratic convention.
Also, it's humorous how you draw some relation between Obama and random demonstrators at the Republican convention. Why is Obama responsible for everyone that's discontent with the RNC? Aren't the Republicans responsible for that themselves?
Obama's Whining
As I have watched both conventions, I was stunned again to see today, more liberal demonstrations at the Republican Convention. I watched the Democratic Convention, and I didn't see any Republicans demonstrating there. Evert time I see uncivil behavior, I just wonder who taught them that. The republican covention has highlighted "government reforms", "Hope", as Rudy Giuliani said, isn't a "Strategy". And, continued with other themes as, the USA, God and Country, and family. The Democratic Convention on the other hand appeared featured with, Doom and Gloom, the sky is falling, and as much poisson as they could spew upon the Republicans.And, now their in Minn-St Paul demonstrating. How rediculous. Is Obama allowing them to act like that?
Experience
I used to live in Southeastern Michigan and now I live in New Mexico about 20 miles from the Mexican border does that give me more foreign relations experience than Sarah?
It should give me as much as her after all I lived close to Canada and Mexico.
Unlike her I have actually been to both,bet she's never been to Russia.
What a Joke.
