Nope, but here’s the problem...

If McCain wins, we have 40-41 Senators come January (down from 49) and 165-170 Congressman (down from about 200) and if he causes the usual disastrous split by embracing rodent initiatives and causes, come 2010, we could be down to 35 Senators and 140 Congressman.

By 2012 and McCain is defeated (or dead) and replaced with, you guessed it, the false Messiah (merely delayed by 4 years), we may only have 30 Senators and 125 House members (not unprecedented, as under FDR in 1937, we dropped to 17 Senators and 89 House members). It took 10 years to recover and when we suffered our single greatest defeat for Senate members in 1958, it took us 22 years to recover (nevermind the 40 it took to reclaim the majority in the House).

Ultimately here, McCain might merely be a Pyrhhic victory, just a brief speedbump on the way to obscene Democrat supermajorities of 70 Senators and 310 in the House with Obama at the helm in 4 years.

If Obama were to win this year and he embarks on his predictable moonbat course, it might only take us 2 cycles to win back the Congressional majority and install a President to boot in only 4 years. That might be preferable to waiting 40 years after McCain for a sane Congress. Either way, not good for the short term.

Not good for the courts. Stevens would replaced with a younger model marxist. And should one of the good Justices run into some health problems.....

HERE IS THE REAL PROBLEM:

If Obama wins, we have 41 GOP Senators come January (down from 49) and 170 Congressman (down from about 200).

BY 2010 IT WONT MATTER:
- AMNESTY PASSES, PERMANENT DEM MAJORITY
- SOCIALIZED MEDICINE PASSES, HIGHER COSTS LESS FREEDOM
- DEMS PUT BILLIONS FOR LIB SPECIAL INSTERESTS
- END CLEAN UNION ELECTIONS (end the secret ballot)
- DAVIS-BACON ADDS BILLIONS TO GOVT COSTS
- $800 BILLION TAX INCREASE
- LIBERAL ACTIVIST SCOTUS JUSTICES MEANS ROE V WADE FOR 30 MORE YEARS
- RETREAT AND DEFEAT IN GWOT JUST WHEN WE WERE WINNING IN IRAQ
- GAYS IN THE MILITARY AND GAY MARRIAGE ON TRACK
- CLIMATE BILL REGULATES OUR CO2 WITH TRILLIONS IN COSTS
- NO SOLUTION TO SOCIAL SECURITY EXCEPT HIGHER TAXES
- FAIRNESS DOCTRINE USED TO SHUT US UP

Come 2010, there is nothing left to fight over. USA as a country will not be recognizable.
It wont even matter if we have a comeback.
