The way I see the election . . .
* If Hillary wins, the GOP might actually start acting like Republicans again, and in two years, win back the House & Senate. (Maybe a new "Contract with America" like they had under Newt Gingrich?)
Downside is higher taxes, AWB II, and SCOTUS nominees so far to the left that they'll make Ruth Bader Ginsberg sound like Ann Coulter. Even if the GOP gets back to their roots, it will take a lot of work to undo the damage of a President Hillary, and I don't know if they'll have the stomach for it.
* If McCain wins, the GOP, in order to support a fellow RINO, will go along with every harebrained leftist idea he pushes. Forget about controlling illegal aliens or a move back to the center, they'll figure since we elected McCain, we're OK with liberal officeholders, and The Stupid Party will be no more than Democrat Party Lite. (Which is how they've been governing anyway.)
But with McCain we might - might - get at least a moderate SCOTUS nominee. It's a long shot, but with Hillary, it's a not a possibility at all.
* If Barack Hussein Obama wins . . . be afraid. Be very afraid. Gun rights, taxes, spending, foreign policy, domestic policy, border security, every issue you can think of . . . :barf:
Bottom line: Nothing good will come of this election.
