McCain

For 5 minutes I thought I might vote for John McCain. He seems less slimy than Republicans usually do, more real, less knee jerk laissez-faire capitalist kiss-ass oil business flunky. (Yes, this is a precisely accurate representation of my opinion of the other party.)

Or did. In the last month this has all changed. If he wins based on his current tactics, I will be back to wanting to emigrate. His campaign is based on the idea that their is no bottom--one might continue to descend in the area of campaign tactics indefinitely. Intelligence, truth, honor are now all irrelevant.

I would like to remind everyone that he is already old and starting to show normal amounts of memory failure and dementia. Do you really want the endless comedy that a Palin presidency would involve? Maybe there is such a thing as too much laughter.
