Character of the candidates

As I can see it,both candidates have good characters.McCain went through torture,physical and mental,as a prisoner of war.Years of abuse by Viet Cong captors must make anything in politics seem tame.Obama surely must have endured taunts and mockery in his youth because of his mixed race.Politics at their high level is bare-knuckled.At this point in this presidential race,there is no distinct advantage one has over his opponent.Polls indicate a statistical stalemate.I certainly am undecided.
