I don't think so. From what I've been reading on the blogs and in the news the American people are tired of Washington Dems/Republican bickering. They may get disgusted and vote for a moderate like McCain. We at Free Republic seem to live in a bubble (a very nice bubble I might add) but I talk to people on the outside who are looking more toward the moderates because they are tired of the extreme bickering.
