:tips cap to UT for excellent thread:

I am voting for Obama. But if McCain wins, I think we will have a competent, experienced leader as our new President. McCain has leadership skills and experience and they will be much needed in his new office. President McCain will every chance and no excuse to reform the living daylights out of "dose bums". He will be an active President. ...

And that, my friends, is a *LOT* of lemonade.

because I find all his lemons terribly bitter. I do find his similarities in to Bush damning. I find his penchant for "action" a euphemism for shoot first ask questions later. That hasn't worked out so great for us as a country recently. We need someone in that office who's more inclined to think past the opening moves to the possible unexpected outcomes in addition to the hoped for outcome. I don't see McCain doing that. I see him a man of action. Not exactly a drama queen, but more comfortable in chaos, in flux, dancin around, rope a dope, feint jab jab move yer feet... stop already.

I will remain hopeful and optimistic that our great country can survive the worst that either of these candidates could throw at it, having survived for the past eight years. Because in the worst case, it will only be eight years.
