Thank you, John McCain, for proving me wrong on my previous claims that you had stopped being a moderate. While we have our disagreements, you do the right thing for the country when it counts. The message in my signature is completely sincere, and if you make it to 2022, I encourage you to run for re-election.

Mazie Hirono has Stage IV kidney cancer and also voted no, and her no was never in doubt. Where's her standing ovation?

She wasn't the deciding vote.

Every vote was the deciding vote.

That ad was stupid when the republicans ran it, and remains stupid today. The real deciding vote here is the no vote that was most in doubt, which is obviously McCain's.

Shouldn't the fact that McCain's vote was in doubt make him less worthy of praise, not more?

As the vote that killed it, he felt the most pressure to vote Yes, and in voting no, compromised his ideology more than any other senator who voted no did. All of that is worthy of expansive praise, and shows he remains a moderate.
