Nice post, Melissa. I’ve mentioned this before, but yes, John McCain’s judgment is the defining measure that almost completely discounts the other (many) qualities I used to like and respect about him. Even before the Palin thing, he seemed to be abandoning much of his earlier “reaching across the aisle” approach in an attempt to embrace mainstream Republicanism. Not only did that move him away from my own viewpoint, but also showed a willingness to waver from his own general positions and beliefs, only for political gain. (And indeed the Palin thing provides an unbelievably convenient “clincher”, doesn’t it?)

And the McCain team’s gaffes, including his supporters’ fear-mongering bigoted statements being allowed to continue, show a lack of communication or organization either from the team, or from McCain himself. Whether it’s the man or the team, it’s very reassuring that the Obama side has showed consistent ability to stay on message and well-organized.

Excellent post, Merujo. I laughed out loud at a couple of your Palin compatibility quiz questions.

I think we’re fortunate that McCain revealed his true colors so early in the election cycle. Otherwise, he would have given Obama a respectable run for his money. Because almost every independent thinker I know says the same thing: that over the last two decades they’ve always liked or at least respected John McCain. Now I wonder, was he always hiding behind the facade of ‘war hero’ but was really a panicked, inadequate, desperate, “please Daddy love me” man-baby?

Vote! And Happy Halloween!
