Whichever way the center votes, it will be a rejection of the
ideologues.
The liberals had their run and the conservatives did too. Both of you
are
failures. Now it's time for a fresh look and some shaking up of the
old
guard. Obama may be the most likely person to do it in a couple of
generations. Or maybe not. We'll be watching to see, between now and
November, and you and the other partisans will have nothing to do with
how we decide.

Actually, I don't know IF I'll vote. It depends on the local stuff. I
may posture as a Conservative but I don't drink that Kool-Aid either.
Whoever is elected, I have contingencies to prevent too much of an
impact...I hope.
There's an allowance in the statistics for people who won't vote. d8-)

I don't know what it is you want in a president, Tom. What you have here
is
two of the best candidates we've had in a very long time. This is one
election in which I don't think we'll be voting for the least-worst. I
just
want to be sure I've done my best to pick the better of the two.
Come on, Ed. It's an easy choice.

We'll see for sure when Obama's domestic policy ideas get a good airing.

Ed, Do you see any VP choice that McCain can make that will actually
gain him votes? From here it looks like picking a more moderate VP will
chase out the base, and a conservative choice will kill the appeal he
has with some centrists. He seems to need an economics person most, but
that isn't a place for real "sexy" running mates. On the other side,
Obama needs a foreign policy person, or an older more seasoned
Statesman, and somebody like Richardson could really bring him a bunch
of foreign policy respect.
