McCain named Gen. David Petreaus, head of U.S. troops in Iraq; U.S. Rep. and veteran civil rights leader John Lewis, D-Ga.; and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman.

1. John Lewis is cool. I can understand that one.
I'm not sure the other two would make my list.

2. Talk about a political answer! When I heard him say John Lewis, I damn near choaked!
He threw him in because he's black, from Ga. and a Dem. just to make him LOOK bipartisan! I call BS!

3. McCain lied through his teeth on this one. Look at the question...
WHO WERE THE THREE WISEST PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU WOULD RELY ON HEAVILY IN AN ADMINISTRATION.

John Lewis? Seriously, we should ask John Lewis when the last time John McCain asked him for his opinion much less relied heavily on him.

Even Meg Whitman. Except maybe he will rely on her to save his butt after he makes some insensitive comment about women and needs to be bailed out.

12. Look at his face when he got to the third person...
He is having hard time naming only three persons. Can you guys imagine his trouble putting together the whole administration ???
