You did a good job with this biosketch, you got the same information as me, but made it concise and to the point, as opposed to mine, which is pretty superfluous. (Yeah! Use of a big vocabuolary word!)
i like your style of writing much better than my own,its more descriptive.i didnt know that McCain has been the Senator since 1987 for Arizona.i think its interesting to see how both of our information and writing styles differ
