"In a way, it's a dilemma. I want Iraq to succeed, but I know if it does than it means that McCain is the next President. I don't know if that's a worthwhile trade."

I do. I'll take a US victory in Iraq with a McCain presidency over any other republican winning because we were losing in Iraq. A democrat win would of course be a de facto defeat in Iraq, the Middle East, and in world prestige.

you're right, so would I. Plus McCain would most likely be a single termer anyway. Plus, on spending, judges, and foreign policy, he'd be no worse than Bush has been. But the fact that I'd even think about it is troubling.
