Why do you like McCain?
He has experience, and he isn’t 100 percent conservative so it’s easier to relate to him. Also I love his vice-presidential pick Sarah Palin.
What do you think he will do for young people?
He is against abortion so that would be more pregnancies but higher adoption rates also.
What issue that concerns you do you think he will address well?
I think he will address welfare well because many people who don’t deserve welfare have it now and that takes millions of taxpayer’s dollars. I think he will give the money to the people who need it more to be fairer to working Americans.

Why do you like McCain?
He seems good because he served his country well in the military, and he had a life-changing experience of being a POW. He never gave into the demands of the people who were holding him prisoner, which shows a lot of patriotism and great personal character. He also is brave enough to expose [some in] his own political party for corruption.
What do you think he will do for young people?
He will do for them what he will do for all Americans. He has the ability to inspire people to believe in America and do their best to make it successful. Like JFK said, “Ask now what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
What issue that concerns you do you think he will address well?
He won’t raise taxes, which means he is siding with the American tax payer. Also, he believes in strong national defense, so 9/11 won’t be repeated. He is strong on life issues. He [also] promotes oil drilling, which would make the economy better by offering more jobs.
