Frankly I have to agree. I think (hope - or dare I use that word?) that Obama will be seen as the empty suit that he is once H! is gone. I think the only thing that he has going for him now is that he is not Hillary. Even the Rats are tired of her.

That won’t work in November of H! is our of the mix. She won’t be seen as the alternative. Furthermore I think she is so cunning and devious that she should be stomped out pretty much at all cost. Maybe I have HDS and am blinded by it.

OF course this all assumes that we think the (R) alternative is better.

The media is gonna label a black democrat as an empty suit? Obama will become the smartest man on the planet. Probably win an Oscar and a Nobel Prize prior to the election.

In case there is some question about that, consider this:

While McCain is far from my first choice, he appears to be the inevitable GOP nominee. As for the "lesser of two evils" I think there are substantial differences between McCain and the democrat nominee that would cause any true conservative to vote for McCain. Here are some examples of those differences:

Issue	McCain	hillary	Obama
Iraq	Supports troop surge Troops stay until Iraq's government is stable and secure	Begin troop withdrawal	Vows to end war, withdraw troops over 16 months
Economy	End congressional earmarks and control government spending. Free market healthcare and energy policies will spur economic growth	Moratorium on some home foreclosures Increase minimum wage and spending on infrastructure and job training.	Pro-union "Re-negotiate" NAFTA Increase regulation of Wall Street and lenders Create fund to prevent homeowner foreclosures
Healthcare	Opposes mandates $2500 refundable tax credit ($5000 for families) to help with health insurance Expand healthcare savings accounts	Universal healthcare (cost 100B to 110B per year)	Health insurance subsidies to make health insurance affordable for virtually all Americans (50B to 65B per year) Mandate coverage for children
Taxes	Extend Bush Tax Cuts (make permanent) Simplify tax code Reform AMT	Allow Bush tax cuts to expire for those earning $250K+ Freeze estate tax at 2009 levels to pay for universal 401(k) -- oh boy, another "universal" benefit Reform AMT	Replace Bush tax cuts with new breaks of $500 to $1500 for individuals making less than $50K. Raise capital gain and dividend tax rates Eliminate "loophole" for hedge funds. Reform AMT

Further, in the area of federal judges, we don't know for sure that McCain will give us Alito and Roberts, but we absolutely know for sure that hillary or Obama will give us more Bader Ginsburgs and Breyers.
