One thing that McCain has going for him is this: in the next Congress, the Democrats are likely to hold large majorities in both houses. There's no telling what they will pass. With a Republican in the White House, anything they did pass would take a two-thirds majority.

                Given Obama's very questionable judgement to date many voters will be reluctant to allow him the option of simpyl rubber-stamping everything that comes out of Congress.

                Even scarier than that is the legislation that he himself might propose.
