I'd like to see Obama elected just to stick it to those closet bigots and hardline neocons. As for McCain, as dc_dux says, he's completely flipped the script. Back around February, he went from respectable "maverick" to lobbyist lapdog. I put "maverick" quotes because I thought he was an old-school conservative who's only a maverick compared to the police state chickenhawk degenerates currently using the 4th and 5th Amendments as toilet paper.
McCain's campaign was in the dumps last summer, popularly and financially. But as the other candidates turned out to be incompatible with reality, the Washington machine dug him out of the ditch. All he had to give them was his soul. In exchange for money, he handed his campaign over to the lobby.
Do you know that he's taking Ambien as a sleep aid? You know that stuff puts you out like a light for eight hours, and can make you sleep walk, sleep eat, and sleep drive if you take one pill too many? I had to take it for some time, but before I did, I read up on it. It's not a pill that you can pop, and wake up to answer the phone in the middle of the night. It pretty much cancels crisis management. He's already prone to fits of profane anger, rash decision making, and inability to focus on the campaign trail -- do you think the White House is going to be any easier on him? No. The answer is no.
