Yeah, okay, they differ on a couple of issues. Although I think what everyone is saying about McCain's views on Iraq are being sensationalised. Here's a quote from the man himself.

The following are conditions I intend to achieve. ... By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom. The Iraq War has been won. ... The United States maintains a military presence there, but a much smaller one, and it does not play a direct combat role."

He wants the same thing Obama does - less US troops in Iraq, and no more fighting there. He just wants it done less rapidly than Obama does. That hardly makes him a crazy warmonger.

But let's look at other issues. Where do all three stand on the economy? Apparently they plan to strengthen the middle classes. Where do they stand on climate change? They all support a mandatory cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions. Where do they stand on immigration? They all support a path to legalisation for illegal immigrants that includes learning English and paying fines. Iran? They all think tighter sanctions should be imposed, international co-operation utilised, and none have ruled out military action.

The thing I will say about McCain is that he apparently wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade and yeah that makes him a bit of a nutter in my eyes.

I think I will end up this post with a quote that sums all of this up perfectly: Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.
