re: Now, the past few days have about convinced me that my first reaction was correct and that McCain would do more long-term damage. He and his campaign are making some very stupid blunders (unforced errors), and they seem to almost enjoy it.

They publicly diss conservatives on a daily basis. I'm sick of the contempt. Then he fills my mailbox every day with requests for money.

My take--he expects the conservative vote because of Obama-fear. But he also expects to achieve the WH with no visible help from conservatives so then he will be free to show them no loyalty whatsoever. He'll owe us nothing, he got elected by "moderates and independents."

I'd trade a McCain presidency for a fired-up Republican opposition in the House and a weak and silly Obama...

“I’d trade a McCain presidency for a fired-up Republican opposition in the House and a weak and silly Obama...”

So would I. McCain just loves to “reach across the aisle” too much. And as has been said, he’s just as often as not reaching across from the Dem. side to the Republican side.

2010 would probably be another 1994, with dramatic gains for Republicans in Congress.

At present, I can’t see any much difference, no matter who is in the WH. And, I’ve heard all the reasons McCain would supposedly be better. And most days he does something to make that seem pretty unlikely.
