JFK didn't exactly have all that much time to change things though. Given the political climate of the 60s and the programs that he helped to start, and the Cuban Missile Crisis, I'd say he did a pretty good job.
I would've voted for McCain in 2000, but not now. He's shown a capacity for pandering to the far, FAR, right, which scares me far more than any experience argument. Back in 2004, when the far right was solidly in control, McCain suddenly went completely and utterly overboard.
