A lot has been said about the death of Arizona Senator John McCain, who died on Saturday: his time as a prisoner of war, his brash humor and robust temper, and the fact he was an old-school conservative, willing to reach across the aisle to work with Democrats on issues that matter to him, like campaign finance reform.
