Was a hero! He was a POW in Vietnam and He changed the political climate, his picking of Sarah Palin although controversial opened the door for many women (and crazies) and his graceful loss proved how a true politician should act when they don't get their way. He split the Republican party in ways not seen since HW and TR before. Rest In Peace Sir, you will be missed. Thank You for your contribution to the political landscape and the ultimate demise of the 2 party system.
