It looks to me that after the bad taste that Bush has left in the publics mouth that the Republicans have named McCain as their sacrificial lamb, kind of like Kim Campbell. Look at the candidates the Republicans had, an old geezer whose stability is questioned after spending years tortured as a prisoner of war, a Mormon who on his best days reminds me of Stockwell Day and an evangelical minister who doesn't believe in evolution and expected a miracle while not knowing when to quit. There was not really a viable candidate among them as anyone with any smarts or a real chance knows it's not the right time. The only fly in the ointment is the stupidity of the voters, who after all elected Bush, not once but twice.
