Your COKE analogy is excellent. The current Republican party is, in fact, a NEW COKE that no one particularly likes. McCain is a NEW COKE guy. He is incapable of resurrecting the grand old party.
I watched him on Fox lat night, being subjected to some tough questions. I was struck by his inability to explain anything simply and clearly.
This is a unique election. I sit here with a McCain/Palin button on my shirt, aware that my choice is between a man who is personally and ideologically committed to the destruction of the nation and an idiot. I support the idiot.
I hear you! Many no doubt are voting for the Palin- McCain ticket. LOL
