Arizona's senior Senator John McCain is running for President and gets the lion's share of media attention. Senator McCain has some desirable qualities including his strong support for the war in Iraq. He also has his weaknesses as the abominable McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act demonstrates.
Arizona's other Senator John Kyl is, I believe, better suited for the presidency than McCain. Kyl has served in the Senate since 1995 and was in the House from 1987-1994. Kyl currently serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee and that committee's Homeland Security Subcommittee where he has been a stalwart supporter of conservative constitutional principles. He has served on the Senate's Energy & Natural Resources Committee and currently serves on the Senate Finance Committee where he demonstrated his commitment to conservative fiscal principles.
While in the House, he served on the House Armed Services Committee and he is a highly respected figure on national security issues.
Kyl is a man of sound character and judgment. He also possesses an intellectually substantive grasp of today's multifaceted and complex public policy issues. Visit his website
