I don't quite get it. The prospect of an honest, Constitution-supporting politician getting nominated or elected to any office is inspiring, but unless McCain steps in front of a bus, she will occupy the most ineffectual office in the land and be able to accomplish virtually nothing.

Or is the excitement expressed here based solely on the assumption that her presence on the ticket will make it easier to defeat Obama?

I must admit I have relaxed quite a bit since the Billary threat was removed and have not been concerned Obama might get elected. I think this is still far too racist a country for that to happen.

Personally I don't think Obama is any greater threat than any other run-of-the-mill gun-grabbing, money-stealing, welfare-spending, let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya, la-la-leftist. At least we know what to expect.

But McCain! (And this is coming from a life-long conservative), McCain is absolutely a wolf in sheep's clothing. This guy wants World War III and means to have it sooner rather than later. Obama may bumble his way into WWIII, but McCain plans to light the fuse himself.

(Just to clarify matters: I will vote for Obama, right after I vote for Joseph Stalin.)
