Regardless of what some here on FR say and barring some unforeseen tragedy, one of these three is going to be our next president. When it comes to appointing judges, I would rather get a Ginsberg from McCain than a Stevens (or worse) from Hillary or Obama.
This also fits in another one of my philosophies regarding politicians: divided government.
The Congress is going to remain in Democrat control and they may even get a cloture-proof majority in the Senate. I would rather have McCain to balance out that DemocRat Congress (at least somewhat) than a Hillary or Obama working hand-in-hand with them.
Yes, this will be a slower beating, but I don't see any way of not getting a beating these next four to eight years.

And I agree with you, but the more McCain talks the more he’s telling me that: 1. He fully intends to and 2. He will take great pride in luving up to the Dems in the Senate.
I hope I’m wrong and time will tell. You know what I predict will happen in November? Obama will lose by probably 3 points. McCain will use his victory to claim a mandate for his political philosophy and Conservatives during the coming administration will be even more alienated. (Let’s hope I’m not channeling that profit from ancient Greece, Cassandra. She was one who was correct in her visions, but nobody believed her.) LOL! I hope to heck I’m wrong. I want to make some bucks the next few years and go to Nevis!!!
