That's how I see it, anyway.
If Rush & co. are right, and McCain's potential nomination means the end of their ilk holding sway over 50 percent (give or take a point) of the American electorate, that's nothing less than a cause for celebration.
Their influence has been a blight, nay, a festering sore on the American visage for far too long.
In other words, it's not the Republican Party, per se, that's the problem; it's what the Republican Party has become, an insular, regressive, fanatical, and mean-spirited flock with barely even lip service for the Christian ideal of compassion, and a closed door to anyone who dares speak its name anymore.
Now, coming from a Democrat who has dreamt of winning back the White House for seven long years, this may seem like blasphemy, but hear me out. If Clinton or Obama gets the White House, I will be ecstatic. However, the consolation prize of a McCain administration that irrevocably fragments this coalition of conservatives that Rove assembled to put Dubya in the White House and take the Senate, in order to dominate two (aiming for three) branches of government, is consolation indeed.
The only downside would be if trigger-happy McCain decided to go ahead and drag us into World War III.
So, yeah, I'm definitely leaning more heavily toward Door #1...
