You had to stretch so far for that one your arms must hurt. Not to mention I didn't even mention GHWB--who had the support of a certain Ronald Reagan. But what did that Reagan fella know about conservatism?
But you're right--Hillary and Obama will choose MUCH more conservative candidates for SCOTUS.
And oddly enough, you don't mention another SCOTUS pick by George H.W. Bush...
My arms feel fine ... and you are “redirecting” instead of “addressing” the point. You cannot scare me/us into a vote for McCain based upon his potential access to SCOTUS appointees — and I showed you a single, simple, tangible, and dead-on accurate rationale for why this is so. Better to work the backlash angle in Congress and get real conservatives in those seats to thwart the appointments that a liberal POTUS might make, whether that be McCain, Clinton, or Obama, instead of hoping-against-hope that McCain if elected will have a change of heart and shift right.
