I can make a long list for McCain, (some of which doesn't make me happy as a fiscal and social conservative but they are accomplishments). And these are totally off the top of my head:

McCain Feingold campaign finance reform
He doesn't take earmarks for Arizona
He was first to recommend the surge in Iraq that has been a success
He raised serious concerns about Fannie and Freddie as early as 2001 and again in 2004 but was blocked by Democrats (I've seen the video)
His entire conduct as a prisoner of war and service to the country
He consistently votes against tax increases and pork barrel spending

These are just the ones off the top of my head but whether you agree or disagree with him on his political views these are real accomplishments. I am sure the campaign could come up with more. Now for Obama we have, well let's see.....he was a community agitator whose supervisor admitted he accomplished almost nothing.....and he was a law school professor who wrote nothing........he was editor of the Harvard Law Review of almost no note......he voted present over 100 times in the state Senate.....he spent 143 days in the U.S. Senate with nothing of note.......

The fact is the ONLY thing Obama has accomplished of note is his unbelievable rise from a state Senate to Dem nominee and his defeat of the Clinton machine. Both of those are impressive but say almost nothing about his ability to assume an executive position in a small company, let alone being POTUS.
