Americans value the individual. John McCain was such a man. Sometimes he was a "maverick." Sometimes he lost his temper. Sometimes you agreed with him and sometimes not. He did what he thought was right, and that's rare.
He crossed party lines, and he didn't blindly follow members of his own Republican party. Among his friends were the Democrat Joe Biden, and the Independent Joe Lieberman.
He was a man of fairness and frankness, honor and humor. And, most sadly, he leaves behind a Senate mostly full of wimps and weasels.
He was a most unique and memorable man.
