When the campaigning starts McCain will look bad. I heard him say that the economy is not his strong point- not a good thing to say in these economic times. I heard him say that we might be in Iraq for 100 years. Not bright considering how the public feels about the war.
8 years ago I would have voted for McCain. All of a sudden he acts like he wants to stay the course- it's a course to disaster.
Bottom line is this:
Whichever party the president is, Congress has to be the other. Things seem to go well when they fight over issues and compromise.
