I think that's exactly what's gonna happen. We are in deep sh-t.

Here's another scenario I heard from some talking head cable TV yesterday:

If McCain wins the Republican nomination and Obama gets the Democrats' nod then conservatives incensed at McCain's "liberalism" would back a 3rd-party candidate. This would most likely split the GOP and lead to an electoral defeat but some conservatives are just too angry at McCain to back him.

However, they are more peeved at Clinton than McCain. Thus, the talking head said that a Clinton/McCain battle would lead to a more unified GOP front and the Independent vote becomes more crucial.

Anyway, that's (not) my two cents.

I think McCain is a real threat; he seems to appeal to a lot of right-leaning Dems, never mind independents.
I can't help thinking that as the battle between Obama & Clinton continues they'll each sustain enough battle wounds to weaken. Then, McCain might seem like the "positive" choice to those sick of the battle...let the woman & the black man take each other out, then a white man will jump in & clean up.
What I've been fearing all along really....

Why be fearing McCain as President? The President has always been a White American man, so you should be comfortable with it by now. The senario of battle wounded O & H and Mc being the choice of right-leaning Democraps (no typo) is exactly what is already happening. If Mc has to run against O there will be a turnout of white voters for Mc that will break all records. If Mc runs against H, same will happen, but the record will be broken by white men voting for Mc. Get use to it if you haven't already. It's the way it's always been and nothing is going to change the race or gender of our President.

This is absolutely a threat. In spite of what all of us liberals want to believe, the nation is still divided. Sure, we're probably more united against Bush than four years ago, but there is still a right, a left and a center, and McCain appeals to two out of three of those...

You know, "Eyes of Texas", I'm not sure what your point is exactly. Is it not cool in your world to want to change what's wrong? Is caring wimpy to you ("get used to it?") or are you unaware of the fact that humans do evolve, and it's not naysayers who move us forward?
Maybe you're far to advanced for the rest of who still hope, even with eyes open wide....or maybe you're just a McCain voter anyway.
