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?

It's Palin. Who was not even on the scope in February...
She gets my vote for snake-in-the-grass.
She gets my vote for snake-in-the-grass. At this point, while neither ticket is to my liking, a friend of mine pointed out that Obama has been a big supporter of all the "Mental Hellth" State measures such as the Orwellian "New Freedom" Iniative to screen every kid in America so the Pharma companies can sell them drugs, along with the Mother Act to put a "Case Worker" with every birth. This is all stuff of the 1984 mode and I am beginning to tip toward voting against Oh'Bummer by voting for McLame. Not a pleasant choice but while the lesser evil is still evil it is still a lesser evil.
Not a pleasant choice but while the lesser evil is still evil it is still a lesser evil. People settling for the "lesser evil" is the reason why we only get non-choices like Obama or McCain, Bush or Kerry, Bush or Gore, Clinton or Dole, in elections. And when it comes to 1984 mode, you can bet McCain will do all he can to jam an expanded Patriot Act down your throat.
Likely true, but it would have to get through a Demoncrat Controlled CONgress which will not want to give him anything. As well the public is waking up in larger numbers to the threats against our liberties. With any luck he'll die his first two years in office leaving an able woman, who while I disagree with on a wide range of issues, is by far better than Oh'Bummer. So, the game is still playing.
The Democrats will give Mad Dog everything he wants when it comes to "national security." They're so afraid of being painted as unpatriotic that they even gave Shrub almost everything he asked for. With any luck he'll die his first two years in office leaving an able woman, who while I disagree with on a wide range of issues Please. Every time Palin opens her mouth, she sounds like George W. Bush with tits. I can't believe you're sold on her.
LOL!

Palin is what you call fake opposition, a false flag operation to win Ron Paul supporters and others back into the GOP/neocon fold. People like Palin use libertarian and independent-sounding rhetoric as bait to catch gullible voters on the neocon hook. Judging by the people here, the strategy seems to be working.
