Romney’s out and I’m sad. Not because I don’t despise him (because I do) or because I was excited about some religious diversity in the White House (I was, but not at the expense of having him as our President…shudder to think). It’s because McCain is apparently so “liberal” (read not doesn’t come off as a right-wing nutbar like Huckabee) that he can actually prove to be a threat to the Democrats in the race for the White House. “On the fencers” and other moderates might oscillate between McCain and the Democratic candidate based on issues. Independents might gravitate towards him because he hasn’t walked the Republican party line (and indeed, is hated by most in his party). And (is it possible?) could Democrats — particularly former supporters of John Edwards — be swayed into voting off-ticket because they don’t feel any affinity towards Obama or Clinton? Will Latinos turn to him because of his immigration bill stance?

I think it’s possible and we should be very afraid. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
