I picked a random card. Red for McCain, black for Obama... for obvious reasons.
10 o' hearts. It's rainin' McCain, halelujah, it's rainin' McCain...
Either way we're doomed, of course, but with McCain we're doomed on the installment plan.
Much of America either wants socialism, or is just voting their feelings, or both.
That's my notion, too. But we have an ace in the hole - a lot of the people who want socialism (just with a different name) won't show up to vote.
And we're working on good ol' Machiavellian principles, more or less: it's better to be feared than loved. You can assume from that that people are more inclined to vote against a guy they're scared of than vote for a guy they like. Based on that axiom, McCain ought to win.
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate. Hate... leads to voter turnout."
