We'll be honest: We feel kind of bad for John McCain. He wants to be president so bad, but despite giving his best debate performance yet last night, the Republican candidate faces as much as a fifteen-point deficit going into the final three weeks of the campaign.

Here's a look at six DVDs we imagine are playing on repeat on the Straight Talk Express' wide-screen TV — and which ones could even help John McCain mount his own improbable comeback.
