The way I see it, here are our choices:

1) Black man with no experience but a solid message
2) Divisive hag who'd destroy her own party as long as she got the nomination
3) Old man who either a) doesn't know the difference between a Sunni and Shiite Muslim or b) is so old that he is going to get such basic, important things wrong on a consistent basis.

Each of the democrats up for nomination obviously has problems, but to me, the problems with McCain are just too much. I'm really worried about his age. If it was the year 2000, I'd be voting for him, but even my 74 year old grandmother has said he's too old for the job. McCain's VP pick is going to be scrutinized extra hard because there's a decent chance he could die in office (keep in mind the US life expectancy for men is 74 years - he's either 71 or 72, I believe).

He's admitted he isn't well-versed in economic issues, which will come back to bite him in the general. Same for his "100 years in Iraq" statement - although I know what he meant, that still scares a lot of people. He's going to seem out of touch with many voters due to his age and, in my opinion, due to the fact that his wife is a billionaire (remember Kerry's rich ketchup queen?)

Basically what it boils down to is, as an independent, I've seen the Republicans fuck up this country for the past 8 years. It's time to let the Democrats have their turn to fuck it up. Thumbs Up

edit - keep in mind that the democrats are going to expand their house and senate majorities in November. If McCain does win, expect no partisan legislation to be passed for at least 2 years.
