We was just talkin about mccain about an hour ago. Wondering where we would have been. I think better off...even with palin who everyone looks at as a ditz. I think they might have surprised people.
Right now if I had to pick I'd go Romney. No matter what we're #^&#^&#^&#^&ed for the next 5 years right now.

you're in good company...
Former President Jimmy Carter wants to see Mitt Romney win the Republican nomination and run against President Obama next November.
"I hope he wins," Carter said of the former Massachusetts governor in a Thursday night interview with MSNBC. "I'm not taking a position, but I would be very pleased to see him win the Republican nomination."

Wonder how it woulda been different? The current tax policies under Obama are the same as under Bush. McCain probably wouldn't have changed them. McCain may not have done the stimulus, but the economy may have gone in the shirter. Health care reform is one place, but it hasn't been implemented and any economic impacts are in the future. Iraq and Afghanistan probably the same. My guess is McCain woulda stayed out of Libya. He woulda got Bin Laden. Wall street reform would have been stricter under McCain-Cantwell. Maybe no cash for clunkers, but the economy picked up for awhile back then. He was for TARP before the Palin crowd got on his case. Only real difference is the letter after his name.

No matter who owns the Executive Office. As long as Congress remains gridlocked we are just losers.
Anybody hear the NPR story this morning about how they outsourced the prefab steel for the Bay Bridge to China?

Generally agree...not to mention the natural disasters, Japan nuke meltdown and Arab Spring. McCain presidency and the economy would still be struggling to get traction.
Perhaps he could have cut taxes even further, but given the situation this would have just been more spending. Deficit would probably be about the same as Obama's stimulus.
