I haven't changed my mind.  There were a couple of times that I saw a remote 
and unlikely reason to believe, but then McCain would wipe that out the next 
day.  At first he came out four square against a homedebtor/gambler bailout, 
and then recanted.  A few days ago I heard him deliver a brilliant foreign 
policy speech, good delivery too, so good I didn't know who was speaking 
there for 
a minute.  But then the misbegotten coporatist followed that with a speech on 
why Globalism was such a good idea.

There have only been brief, and I mean BRIEF, moments of thinking maybe I 
should take another look.  Nah.  Nothing there.


As to the preference for  a Dem, you poor deluded  victims of liberal snake 
oil poisoning!  Obama is NOT going to withdraw from Iraq, at least not for 
two 
or three years (unless it is a default withdrawal on our collapsing economy).

We are not in Peak Oil, the housing bubble aftermath, the currency and credit 
crisis, and the food shortage because of Bush or his policies.  We are there 
because at every juncture of our miserable lives we've believed the next 
clown 
in office is just going to make everything OK, no matter how illogical our 
decisions and lifestyle.  Bush is the reflection of our common proclivity, 
not 
the cause of it.

So I'd prefer a Dem in the White House too, especially one that is falsely 
percieved to be the antithesis of Bush.  Then in the next couple of years as 
things continue to deteriorate unabated, maybe, just maybe, it will begin to 
dawn 
on people that our fault lies within ourselves and not our (political) stars 
that we are underlings.
