...There is no question as to which candidate is qualified to serve this great country. McCain is ready to stand up and fight for our country and our freedom. He won't just be "present" while looking cool and working on his next book deal. Sharon Peterson, Clinton Township, Michigan...

The veteran Democrat later backed off just a bit, noting that the district used...
