Republican Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain came and spoke at Google on Friday! He's got a pretty amazing past. He was a POW in Vietnam for 5 and a bit years. When the Vietcong found out his family had a prestigious military past they offered to send him home. He turned down the offer because he didn't want to leave his fellow prisoners behind and he didn't want his release to be used as propaganda by the Vietcong.
I must admit I wasn't overly impressed with his speaking abilities or physical presence. Some of his policies are a little less than ideal, eg. he believes in a strong military, but he seems reasonably close to the centre on issues like Global Warming.
I met him, scored a copy of his book 'Faith of My Fathers' which he signed and had a quick conversation with him about Global Warming and its effects on Australia. The book is very good.
You can watch his speech and the his answers to questions from Googlers here:
