I think the Republicans picked a looser with McCain. Of course vis-a-vis Romney, a fellow who shot himself in the foot with a gun he didn't even own, according to The Boston Globe a while back, it might be hard to tell. I don't think that Ron Paul ever had a chance, though I might end up with egg on my face. Not to worry, that's happened before.
As to Obama and Clinton, neither strike me as acceptable. Regarding where that leaves one, damned if I know. I,m still waiting, though not with my breath held, for Obama's definition of the "assault weapons" he would ban. The wording just might prove interesting or amusing.

How are things in the San Francisco area, haven't been out that way in a couple of years.
