I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that which ever Democrat runs against McCain, they'll win!
The majority in this Country want a new direction, NOT more of the same. They're tired of what they've been getting over the last seven to eight years, and McCain represents just more of the same. He's got too short a fuse to be President, is too old, and hangs his hat on not ending Bush's ill-conceived war in Iraq. He'll use the "fear card" as Buch did in trying to win, and pander to the evangelical-right, because without their vote he won't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of being elected, but that wont be enough to counter the majority of the population who will demand a much needed change!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
