****It is you who is not getting it.****
Sad really - because I’m trying very hard.
Obama beats Hillary.
Obama beats John McCain.
We get stuk with Obama.
That sucks!
McCain cannot defeat Hillary Clinton.
McCain can defeat Obama.
and being stuck with Obama and his zero political history
is far less dangerous than being stuck with the very powerful clinton political machine which has decades of power building behind it.
Nobody in power owes him a damn thing and that is very likely exactly what he would get.
Of course, I share your revulsion regarding this guy being anywhere near the oval office, but if we cannot beat Obama, than it is time for the GOP to pack up and go home, because they couldn't beat Laurel and Hardy.
Let alone a Clinton ...
