As much as I would like to see the Beast vanquished before she gets a turn at bat, I still think the best chance even a sometime (very little) pubbie like McCain stands against her than Obamarama.
I've talked to people that say they like what Obama's saying...even though he hasn't said ANYTHING. People just think he has.
I think Obama would be harder for an old rino like McCain to beat.
The Beast on the opposite ticket may be the only thing out there that can fire up conservatives and get them to go to the polls this time.
I know for me, I'll vote anyway, for whomever is best for the country. It won't be Obama, and it won't be the Beast, but I sure wish it would be someone better than McCain.
IMO though, if it ain't the Beast, more pubbies stay home than if it is her.
McCain is OLDER than Bob Dole was in 1996.
