This kind of issue is exactly why we must elect John McCain even if we wish someone else was the nominee.

You have far more faith than I do in John McCain, of Gang-of-14 fame, who claimed that Justice Alito was "too conservative."

Exactly what kind of justices do you think he would actually nominate?

Yep. Want a scare on a Thursday morning? How about Justice Lindsey Grahmnesty? That weasle will either wind up on the SCOTUS or as AG if McCain is elected..... >>>>SHUDDDER<<<<<

Again I say, what kind of judges do you think Obama or Hillary would nominate? We may not like the choice, but it is still the only choice there is. Would I rather have a different candidate? Sure.

And another thing people are not thinking about is this, it is very possible McCain is only a one termer by choice. That reduces the window (possibly) to 4 years vs Obama/Hillary possibly serving 8.

A lot will depend on the VP pick, because that person could be tapped for 2012.

Obama and Hillary are far closer to outright socialism than we have ever been.
