From the very beginning, I was supporting Senator McCain's candidature for the oval office even before media people say so. No astrology, simply owing to his views, it was quite clear that he can be an obvious choice as a republican nominee for the Presidency. Being a republican he does not hold extreme views about events, personalities, philospohies and policies. He is not opinionated. At times he forthrightly disagrees or expresses his overt reservations about strategies adopted by the present administration, be it Iraq or Guantanomo bay. Well that subserves American interest but how come this guy should be an attractive choice for India. With regards to foreign policy, Senator McCain holds a very special position for India as compared to either of the candidates from the democrats-both show a sign of palpable sinophilia. Sen McCain's merit-based Immigration policies will certainly help Indians owing to the nature of Indian immigrants in the US who constitutes a considerable intellectual work force of their country of choice. McCain also holds an unequivocal attitude towards curbing terrorist forces where he finds India as a natural ally. IN TOTATALITY JOHN McCAIN WILL BE A GREAT FRIEND OF INDIA.HE WILL DEFINITIVELY OFFER MORE ADVANTAGES AND GUIDE INDIA-US RELATIONSHIP TO A NEW DIRECTION.
