And this is exactly why McCain is such a poor choice to represent the Republicans.Tom In VA wrote: Part of his appeal is his "inexperience", if anyone is a Washington outsider, it's a junior Senator. Perhaps too new to be corrupt, yet.
Honestly, the election is going to be interesting. It would have been with either Obama or Clinton as the Dem nominee. All 3 candidates would be extremely easy to beat, in most years, but somehow each side decided to do their best to sabotage themselves.
McCain is a fucking corpse who delivers speeches as if he's in the middle of having a stroke. The status quo has the worst approval rating possible and Republicans are getting flushed out of office faster than runny shit.
All the dems had to do was trot out somebody in a timely fashion, who would get most of their voters to turn out, and they could have easily beaten that zombie. Instead, they split their party in half.
