You can see from my tag line, that I agree with you, but I am still hoping that we won't have to choose between McCain and Hillary.
The worst problem with McCain is that he is unstable and you can't trust his judgment.
But I don't really think that he has a chance to win the R. nomination.
I don't think he does either. But I have been thinking about who is likely to emerge from Iowa, NH and SC and right now, I have no clue. We have a number of good candidates (such as Allen) who can hold the states we need to hold, but we need someone who can take a big Dem state away. And we need to hold Ohio--that may be tough.
It has crossed my mind that, in the red states, Hillary may lose so big that she could, if Ohio falls (or some combination of CO, IA, NV and NM (what happens if Richardson becomes the VP candidate)) lose the popular and win the electoral.
But will the Dems be crazy enough to select someone who will not be able to govern? We are, sadly, getting a taste of that right now. (Bush has unfortunately become the issue.)
