Why do dems seem to like John McCain?

Is it just me, or do the democrats as a whole tend to talk favorably regarding John McCain? http://mccain.senate.gov/

Would anyone share thoughts on why that is?

I don't know much about him, but from what i gather he is pretty well known for being an intelligent, respectable guy - and thats exremely rare. In my opinion that transcends the whole republican/democrat nomenclature.

Because McCain is a stand-up guy and a great model-American.

He's intelligent, rational and not afraid to speak his mind regardless of the affected political party.

The only downside to McCain is that he's capable of becoming a loose cannon with his tongue. Regardless, I’d vote for him in a heartbeat…

We might as well elect Arial Sharon as Lieberman, at least we know who he'd be looking out for, with Lieberman I'm still not sure what agenda he's on.

McCain is, as Salty said, unafraid to speak his mind. He is straight-forward and honest, very refreshing in the world of politics. That's really all it takes to bring polarized America back together.
