We have to do a *Desert Island* test. Shipwreck survivors are jumping into two life-boats which are heading for two islands on the horizon.

McCain is steering one and Romney the other.

Which boat do you elect to board?

Do you go with the fella who can fight off the barbarians, but is inclined to lose his temper and valuable equipment?

Or do you go with the guy who can organize & build a fort, grow & hunt food, create jobs for the barbarians, save resources and prepare to build a bigger boat for an escape?

Which boat do you elect to board?

They both are probably headed in the wrong direction!

But, Captain McQueeg would probably punch me in the face and throw me overboard.

First, since you can't express your First Amendment rights too close to an election would wouldn't be able to choose, secondly, the barbarians would be welcomed on board so that they could lawyer up, thirdly, the judge in the possible proceedings would be booted for being too conservative (Alito), fourthly, we wouldn't be able to afford getting on the boat because the tax burden would be too high,...need I go on and on?

McCain is too old and frail to do much barbarian fighting.
