This should be a lessen to those who didn’t vote for McCain. As much as I loathe him, at least he would nominate someone towards the middle, and hopefully, to the right. The only good reason to vote for him, was the Supreme Court.
I love your optimism but I don’t trust McCain to do the right thing at all. I think that he’d have taken the same path as Obama. A little slower, a little milder, but still the same path and idiotic republicans would have supported republican socialism instead of fighting Obama’s socialism.
