The actuarial estimate that John McCain won’t complete his first term is currently near 1-in-6. That’s unacceptably high when his VP (“relatively inexperienced”?…) has no foreign policy experience whatsoever.

I would have voted for McCain in the not too distant past; Sarah Palin was the last nail in the coffin. While I strongly suspect Obama/Biden will be mediocre-to-bad, I know that Palin would be unequivocally worse. I can’t vote for a 17% chance of President Palin. Sorry McCain.

Caleb, you do not think too highly of McCain. Which politician would like to see in the White House if given your druthers?

Silly me, focusing on experience and judgment. I mean after all, who cares about which candidate can answer the Iranian threat if they can’t charm the pants off of the French and German publics, right?

McCain is a poor candidate, and I stated that quite early on. I don’t want to be voting for him. But the alternative is unthinkable.

He is widely recognized for being the US Senator with the worst temperment. He is showing signs of serious mental strain, and it is obvious to anyone who isn’t a fanatical McCain supporter. The man simply doesn’t look good at all. And to top it off he’s admitted on camera to the Des Moines Editorial Board that he “always aspires to be a dictator”. If you don’t belive me, you can watch it on YouTube.
