I'm absolutely certain that I'd be even more disappointed had McCain won.

Agreed entirely. I'm certainly disappointed (very disappointed in many cases), but I'm not under the illusion that I would have been less disappointed had McCain won. Nor do I envision a Republican candidate for 2012 that could appeal to me more than Obama, despite my level of displeasure.
