7. Someone mentioned Ed Harris, and that would be a good choice.

Ed always brings the goods. But, sometimes you get a more accurate portrayal from someone who captures the subject's essence more than their physical appearance. I'm thinking of Michael Gambon in the HBO movie Path to War. He didn't bear that great a physical resemblance to LBJ, but his tone, mannerisms and the manner in which he carried himself made him a larger-than-life LBJ. So, it may be that the best person to portray McCain may be someone we won't think of because they bear no physical resemblance.
