With McCain as president, the immigration situation would be similar to what it is under Bush, with McCain continually working with Teddy Kennedy and many in the GOP to push for amnesty.

A Dem would meet with more resistance, but Obama would be more willing to push for amnesty.

Obama winning would also give a win to various people who I don’t want to see celebrating, such as Teddy Kennedy, the nutroots, and many others.

And, the GOP nominee doesn’t have to be McCain. Levine’s boss certainly has the wherewithal to send people to McCain’s appearances and press him on these questions.

Not to quibble, but could you please find a way to say this without using the word “hope”? Ron P’s running on “Hope for America”, Obama speak about hope in every other sentence of every speech, Huckabee comes from Hope, for gawd’s saks, Ted K makes points about “the audacity of hope”, The Man From Hope keeps dropping in to remind to vote for the Wife of The Man From Hope . . . .

I’m just Hoped out, I think.

Inspiring-sounding words, talking about “change”, content-free post…

Are you one of Obama’s speechwriters, by any chance?

Obama is a Believer.

For example, I’d expect Obama to pull all troops out of Iraq ASAP. I’d expect Hillary to follow a withdrawal pace that Bush has discussed, maybe taking a year or more, but talk it up like she was getting the troops home. Heck, I think she might even support a continued presence.

I think crossing over (crossovering?) is entirely unethical. It is up to Dems to pick the candidate they want to put forward.

Well, I’m undeclared and always have been. there’s nothing in it for me to vote on the R ballot, so I’ll vote quite comfortably on the D ballot.

There is no way McCain will be able to deal with the Left’s attack against him should their Messiah candidate lose to their constant nemesis the ‘evil white guy who oppresses black people and puts guys into gulags.”

If Democrats dislike Hillary so much would it not benefit McCain that she win the primaries?

I think crossing over (crossovering?) is entirely unethical. It is up to Dems to pick the candidate they want to put forward.

And I would truly prefer Hillary as the nominee over Obama, because I would be more comfortable with her as President were McCain to blow it. It has nothing to do with a reading on the light meter. It has to do with a confidence that our President is an American, dedicated to America, despite her Stalinist views.
