A quick rough analysis of how much blood is on folks hands.

Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground was a bomber who may have been connected to the killing of one policeman and the wounding of another.

John McCain:
- voted for the Iraq War Resolution in October 2002, killing at least 88 - 96 thousand civilians (confirmed) according to Iraq Body Count, at the time of the writing of this article. The estimate including the unconfirmed deaths is 674 thousand according to The Lancet, at the time of the writing of this article.
- voted in September of 2002 to authorize force in retaliation for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, which launched the war on Afghanistan, which has killed an estimated 3,485 at the time of writing this article according to Unknown Casualties.
- voted in 1989 to authorize the use of force in Panama, killing hundreds.
- was a bomber in a campaign that killed millions of civilians in Vietnam.

Barack Obama may not have killed anyone yet. Give him a chance to catch up, he's young.
