O.K., we have a man who has said the war should go another hundred years and 
laughes when asked about the economy.  We have a man whose whole political 
career is based on avoiding making a difficult call and who routinely lies 
in speeches.  We have a woman who is, quite probably, simply a shadow of her 
husband or vise versa. (One has to wonder who back when really decided on 
their whole political agenda).

The only *real* choices won't be the party choices.  Ron Paul, John Edwards. 
Then I'd have to really think about who marks up the most positives and 
weigh them against each other.

Not my idea of choices, my idea of crap shoot!  Or, damned if you do, damned 
if you don't.

Now, all that aside, and this is a serious question as I am really curious 
about what you said, do you *really* think that McCain is an intelligent, 
competent and a decent human?  On intelligence, I find it rather 
questionable based on college alone, 894 out of 899 doesn't exactly give a 
warm and fuzzy intelligence quotient.  Kinda reminds me of what we already 
have.  Competent?  His military career is less than stellar.  The balance of 
his career is as a professional politician with absolutely no real world 
experience AND lots of questionable ties in his background AND currently. 
If nothing else, he was part of the Keating Five.  As a human.  Let's see, 
he comes home to a wife that is in a severe car wreck and spends 3 years in 
and out of hospitals.  His answer is to have affairs while she's in the 
hospital and then say see ya.  His nickname was and still should be McNasty. 
His favorite way of talking to anyone he doesn't agree with is to call them 
"jerk."  From kids to reporters to other political figures.  That will go 
over real well with political leaders of other countries.  AND, he whines! 
Arg, it's like fingernails on a blackboard <g>
