Republicans Should Hope For Clinton to Win...

As a fairly conservative guy I can't tell you how disappointed I am that McCain looks to be the Republican Presidential Candidate. Here's a guy who's so proud about "crossing the aisle," but what that really means is that he becomes a Democrat-lite. Cooperation is one thing. Consistently voting opposite of your party is something else.

The average person calls that not having a moral compass.

And how can conservative voters forget immigration? McCain is the guy who was so out of touch with the American people that he penned, along with Lenin-wanna-be Ted Kennedy, a bill which allows just about every illegal law breaker to stay in the country for the small price of a couple of grand.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for immigration... only the legal kind.

So, given that McCain is the Republican nominee (boy, it pains me to say that) I must then hope that Clinton is the Democratic nominee. Why?

What is McCain? An aged, war-hero, career politician. What's Obama? A young guy with a fresh take and the perceived "outsider" voicing the people's concerns. Sure, he's been a Senator for two years, but apparently it takes three years to be considered an insider.

Anyway, if Obama wins the Democratic nomination and faces McCain... well, it won't be pretty. Can you say "Kennedy vs. Nixon?" Could those two guys look and act and simply be more different? Young vibrant newcomer black guy against an old, stodgy, politically rudderless white guy who is visually the epitome of what a career, inefficient politician looks like.

At least with Clinton there's enough people that know from history that she's less than trustworthy and from personal taste that she's less than likable. At least McCain would have a shot against her. Granted, it would look like a campaign for president of the nursing home instead of the most powerful office in the U.S., but at least McCain could possibly, on a good day, possibly represent my conservative beliefs... maybe.

McCain against Obama, however... ha! Not a chance. Obama's campaign is so invigorated and excited and full of life. Nothing else comes close.

As I heard via email the other day, I believe I have come down with Electile Dysfunction, because I just can't get excited about anyone in this presidential race.

Ugh...

All options suck right now. I can't believe the remaining candidates are the best five people available in this U.S. that are willing to try and run the most powerful country in the world. Are we sure we've looked everywhere?

There's got to be an honest, law-abiding and upholding male or female with integrity out there, isn't there?

Oh, wait a minute, I'm talking about politics. Never mind.

I guess we'll just have to deal with the used car salesmen (and woman) that we're stuck picking from.
