McCain's Time as POW = Presidency?

I'm linking to a good post on Bill Tchakirides' terrific blog Under The LobsterScope about the POW aspect in John McCain's campaign. It was brought up again and again at the Rick Warren event, shoehorned in whenever he wanted to make an easy and sentimental point with the audience, and though there isn't anybody out there who would disrespect McCain's service, is his time as a POW now supposed to be the reason we hand him the Presidency? As payback? I don't think you will think so after reading this post.
