...focus on the torture issue.

Bring up the mistakes of Abu Gharib, Guantanamo, and extraordinary rendition, and then highlight McCain's sucking up to the Bush administration, hinting that he badgered them on camera on torture but didn't follow through in legislation, which he didn't. He gave Bush/Cheney the power to do whatever they wanted, but put on a show for the cameras so he'd look independent-minded when he ran for President...

That's how our candidate should do it--assuming they themselves haven't been voting similarly for the last few years of Senate service...
