I too grieve Thompson’s departure. I also agree that some will wait til the final cut and vote only in November. This is a sad state of affairs as it virtually assures that we will be left with an elderly, self serving little martinet who would do or say anything to be President. Its my view and a mantra I find myself chanting throughout the day ABC or Mc. Like it or not, Romney seems to have the domestic credentials, and Presidents have state departments and ambassadors for a reason. Indeed, many American’s tend to feel that direct Presidential interference in international affairs is not the sort of activity we should encourage. McCain has been on board throughout the whole terrorism crisis and all he’s managed to do is divide the party. It’s time for this old soldier (rather pilot) to accept that he’s made too many missteps, and go gently into that goodnight. Were he to win, the very first confrontation he’ll have with a Democratic Congress will force him to accept immigration reforms he already supports, hardly what Fredheads would want or accept. On the upside of this nightmare scenario, Mc, given his advanced age, and as some would speculate, his tender mental condition, the chances of a second term would seem to be nil. Why do we continue to nominate only those candidates who display a power mad desperation for the job, rather than those who strive for perfection in everything they do?
