Jan, I'm with your friends and it scares me to no end. I do believe McCain will simply carry on Bush's policies and probably expand them to include invading Iran. I hate to imagine what his temper will do in a tense situation with another foreign dignatary. I hope your friends and I are wrong, but I do think Hillary shot herself in the foot with a little (?) bit of help from her husband. And, sadly, I don't think Obama has a chance given the bigotry in this country and the slanderous emails and the like going around about him. Add that to the fact that he really is relatively new to the national political scene and I can't see him winning.
