John McCain is a man shaped by war and is a man who refuses to admit defeat. Not in politics, not in Iraq, not in battlefields. McCain hates the war and knows it costs too well to risk lives needlessly. McCain's presidency had a more aggressive foreign policy than that promised by Obama. He has spent too much of his White House campaign warning that the "transcendent challenge of our time" is "radical Islamic extremism". He vows to bring home troops from Iraq "in victory and honour, not defeat". He also warned in that same speech to the Republican National Convention that "we can't turn a blind eye to aggression and international lawlessness that threatens the peace and stability of the world and the security of American people". McCain refused to accept anything other than victory in Iraq by using the American military power.
I think McCain is wrong by using the American military power to solve everything. He couldn't just use power to solve everything. Maybe McCain could just talk nicely with the people in Iraq instead of just using the American military power to solve it. Using the American military force could cause a bigger conflict.
Questions:
1. What do you think McCain could have said in his campaign instead of just using the military force to solve everything?
2. How did these statements contribute to McCain's loss from Obama in the election?

Hello
Considering that McCain did not win the American presidency, it is a given that his campaign was less successful than his rival's.
Election results show that the majority of voters wanted the country to change direction.
I believe that McCain's talk about "victory" without giving a clear idea of what would actually constitute that victory and his emphasis on the use of military force, especially coming after years of miitary force and no
"victory", left many wondering whether McCain was the right person for the times.
McCain's talk about staying in Iraq
as long as it takes (100 years if necessary) was also not something the majority of the voters wanted to hear especially now that the
American economy is going through serious trouble and the cost of the war is being felt more acutely.
In the end people voted for the candidate that they thought was better equipped to bring change and that candidate was not McCain but Obama.

i think MacCain resolve all problems with military service is wrong. It just wasting human energy and kill so many people. Because of it, So many people sad because his families, friends, or somethings else die.
This is influence MacCain campaign in the elction.That's because, Obama can resolve the problems not only with military service, he can resolve the problem with other ways.
Please answer my question:
1. What is the comparation between Obama's party and MacCain's party?
