John McCain, rightly or wrongly, has a reputation for being a hothead.

But at least now he's willing to talk about it, and even discuss the quote from a fellow senator who said the idea of a McCain presidency "sends chills down my spine."

Quote: If he really had a temper problem, McCain said, he would not have been able to work with fellow senators such as Ted Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat; Russ Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat; and his friend Joe Lieberman, the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee who now is an Independent.

"Let me tell you, I’ve worked across the aisle more than any other senator I know," McCain said.
