Former McCain rivals Obama, Bush surprised with eulogy invite



It says a lot about who he was as a person that he chose his rivals to give eulogies.


Though I disagreed with McCain on almost every single issue I still respect him for his service to this country. I think McCain himself said something like "he would want to be remembered as someone who served his country with honor and made many mistakes in the process"
