I'd druther by far have McCain than ANY of the other Republicans. Frankly, I don't see how he stomachs the GOP anymore, after what Rove & Co. did to him in 2000.

Depending upon who he's matched against I could seriously consider voting for McCain. If it came down to McCain/Clinton it would be no contest; a McCain/Obama ticket would be a no brainer as well.

And if you DO know history, you'll remember that JFK had reason for the Cuban Missile Crisis and that he inherited the Bay of Pigs fiasco from Eisenhower/Nixon. "The Russians tried, the Russians failed/Right back home those missiles sailed..." as Phil Ochs wrote.

Still, having lived through it I also agree with Phil that I would much rather have been someplace else.
