Right. The funny thing is, republicans and conservatives actually dislike Obama more than Hillary simply because he is viewed as far more liberal than she is. I never thought I'd see the day when Hillary would be preferred over anyone else.

And you know what? I think McCain has a good chance at beating Obama. He's already attracting many Hillary supporters as well as the centrist/middle voters. In experience alone, he makes Obama look like a school boy. McCain's best chance to win will be to name a running mate who is a RINO too.

But whatever. All the candidates suck. I think we're screwed no matter who gets in office. At least with Hillary, I could see the knife coming at me. With McCain and Obama, it will go right in my back.

It will all depend on the VP picks.

I worked for McCain in 2000 - he's nothing like Bush, that said I haven't even made up my mind yet ... long term Iraq deployment? I'm not a big fan with friends in the military.

Nothing like Bush, just has Karl Rove and a number of Bush economic advisors working on his campaign.

That's his new slogan

'Not like Bush - just has the same people working for him'

Recipe for success i tells ya

^fair enough

*Karl Rove is working for Fox News though, I don't think he's working for McCain - that said I'm sure a bunch of Bushies are.

*nvm that, u were right: Mehlman, Rove boost McCain campaign - Politico.com Print View
