Barack McCain for PRESIDENT!!!!

WTF? If you can find a less candy-ass address than this please post it here ... please.

All the more treason we need a strong third party system in the US of A.

Aw man, I know it sucks having to watch him tack to the center. But don't go all Nadar just yet.

I'd go all the way to "Barack Clinton" or even "Barack Gephardt" if you really wanted to put an edge on the ridicule.

But McCain's foreign policy will make Cheney look like Kucinich. And his domestic policy... well, it's what you'd expect from someone who couldn't remember to pay his property taxes on a California condo for the last 4 years because who can keep track of 7 or 8 properties?

Obama's certainly going to be a source of disappointment if you're hoping for a dramatic shift from the mainstream, I'm trying to manage my expectations back from "real change" to "a return to reasonable, and some relief from the catastrophically incompetent". But I honest-to-god think a McCain presidency will be a global threat to humanity.

That said, if I was going to put up a bumper sticker after the last couple weeks (especially after the FISA/telecom immunity shit) , it'd be this one. I was hoping for more of Teh Spine.

The voice of reason talking down the idealist. You raise some valid points, chiggins, and I love the bumper sticker. Thanks!

There's little doubt in my mind that the next president will oversee a dramatic shift from the mainstream, whatever his politics may be. Things are coming apart at the seams lately, and it isn't going to get better simply because Bush is leaving office.

Actually, I think this is testable. Check the headlines for any August of the last 7 years, when he was clearing brush. Compare them to the headlines of the other 11 months. I'm pretty sure the index would show that things do get better on a day to day basis. They just don't get all the way to "good times".
