I doubt one Freeper in 20 supported McCain in the early Primaries... but the other choices after it was clear Duncan Hunter wouldn’t win and Fred Thompson didn’t develop and the Dems nominate a mega-liberal, McCain became the best choice.
Very sad about Sarah Palin, though - good policies and likable but not much depth and she totally lost me saying abortion clinic bombers aren’t terrorists.
All in all, you have a good analogy - a waterfall election.
But I’d still rather be an American in America than anyone else anywhere else. We’ll come through.

I’m not so confident. I think the American people are at the tipping point, with more people getting benefits than paying taxes. And Obama and ACORN are doing everything they can to undermine our confidence in our electoral process.
We’ve only been around for 220 years, a short moment in time. Our system is held in place only by a thin veneer of civilization that restrains the beast within, and a sense of civic responsibility, that is rapidly being eroded and being replaced by a growing sense of entitlement.
