I hope sanity prevails. A lot of people around here for a while seemed hell bent on political suicide which in today’s world is tantamount to national suicide.

I have a feeling that many of the loudest "NEVER!" voices will be talking a different line after a few months of "specifics" about Obama's ideas about where this country should go.

If McCain can keep it together without coming on like a crazy old coot with a double-barrel who's ready to shoot at kids who cut through his back yard, we may have a chance. But I fear the only way we can win is if Obama screws up royally AND Republicans take a long look at what an Obama presidency would be like and vote accordingly.

I hope we at FR are now past the seven stages of grief. It’s time to assess the situation and make logical and strategic decisions.

Unfortunately this is by no means prevelant here, though a number of posters are facing reality.

Sanity is quite limited on threads like this one:

McCain’s Not A Conservative, But That’s OK

When I just heard Osama say this week, that when he is POTUS, he guarantees he will pull all the U.S. troops out of Iraq in 2008, I got a shiver down my spine, as I imagine another morning like we had on 11 September 2001. It was a glimpse of hell, and Osama is the gatekeeper.
