If there is a McCain presidency, one thing you wont see is a complete capituation by Congress in the same manner as during the Bush first term.

Okay, this is a kind of relief I was looking for. So you're saying that Congress would keep McCain on a kind of leash?
I like the thought of this Democratic/Republican Senate/Congress/White House balancing act—more liberals being added to the mix. It's kind of like the House of Commons, where you can see the executive counterbalanced, especially where a minority government is concerned.
So the Congress can maintain a balance of power? Haven't we seen Bush strong-arm his way though Congress?
ratbastid, thanks for the clarification. I don't usually take these polls too seriously, unless there is a consensus of a big imbalance between candidates....
