Discussing reality, absent some improbable catastrophic discontinuity, one of these 4 is going to be replacing Bush in the WH:

McCain, Romney, Hillary, Obama.

Sadly, the only criterion other than 'gut feelings' that could be applied to favor one of the 4 is 'the lesser evil'.

On the GOP side, the lesser evil is Romney. On the Demo side the lesser evil is Obama-mama.

Between Romney and Obama... Obama is probably the lesser evil. Both Romney and Obama will find it more difficult to expand the Prez power, Romney because he's a Mormonist and Obama because he's a half-Black (African-American-American?) but it would probably be more difficult for Obama to abuse his powers because he will be constantly fear for his life while in office.

Thoughts?

No matter who wins, I want the President to be of a different party than Congress, so we will have gridlock.

I probably wouldn't mind seeing Obama win. Let's see him act like a stupid white man and expand the war. He'll go down in history as another O.J. Simpson -- this country gives him everything it can and he still proves himself to be just another negro.

I don't think he wants that to happen.

Absolutely right. We can't hope for anything good to come out of Washington, so the best option for us is for as little to happen as possible. Otherwise, every step is a step backwards or sideways.

The best scenario would be a GOP Congress with Obama as President. Congress will pass, Obama will veto. Obama will appoint, Congress will block. And so on for four years. The irony is that Obama will oppose bills passed by a GOP Congress that he'd support if they were passed by Democrats, and vice-versa. It's all part of the partisan politics game.

McCain as President with a Democratic Congress is slightly worse, because McCain has a good track record of working with Democrats.
