I don't really see that much of a difference between Obama and either man, but I'm going to say he's more like Mittens.

McCain because he actually had SOME integrity.

McCain, since McCain isn't a sociopath like Romney is.

Are you trying to be a stereotypical leftist idiot?

Probably Romney, I'm going to say, since both of them are so cautious. McCain was much more willing to take political risks if he felt it was really for the good of the campaign/country.

I said Romney.  I think Vosem makes an excellent point about how cautious they both are.  McCain, even with his occasionally very short temper, was bold enough to be a much better deal-maker than both of them.

McCain seems much more like a man with real convictions than Obama and Romney do. Also, McCain has balls.

Romney.

Like Obama, he was groomed from an early age to run for high office.

He even could have written a book called Dreams From My Father.

McCain, the son and grandson of admirals, probably thought that, at best, he might rise high in the Navy.  He had no chance or idea for a political career until he became a Congressional liaison in his early-40s.

Romney and Obama have far more in common with each other than either do with McCain.

Actually, McCain did consider running for House from Florida, while stationing there after his release, but decided to stay in the Navy.

Romney, unquestionably. The wall street connection, the aversion to taking positions of any substance, the conflict between words and actions, the unwillingness to get involved in big political battles; it's actually uncanny.

McCain was at least genuine, if a little confused and a lot poorly advised. I wouldn't insult John McCain by comparing him directly to either Obama or Romney.

Romney because he comes off as an elitist at times and is soft sometimes.

Obama and Romney, although McCain is also very similar to the both of them, only occasionally now showing his heroic side.
