“Huge difference, and you know it.”
this time we have a Marxist-socialist bent on fascism running for POTUS.
It sure is a hugely different type of election this time around.
After a while, it gets old.
McCain is not nearly as good a candidate as Bush was, either time. I didn't agree with everything W said, but he at least had principles. McCain is all over the map.
At any rate, if you can't detect important structural differences in the election of 04 and the election of 08, neither I, nor anyone else, can help you.
