I agree that McCain will win and probably comfortably.

But I find it interesting that talking about investing in our nation’s infrastructure, moving towards the sort of health care system that the rest of the developed world has, making the tax code more progressive, etc. are seen as pie in the sky but the neocon vision of the world is not.

McCain genuinely seems to believe in his us against the world philosophy, believe that entire regions can be remade in our image, believe that evil can be vanquished from the world, believe that the rest of the world will come to view us a knight in shining armor as we ride in to right all wrongs, etc. He seems to share the Bush view of a Manichean world in which the USA is the on the side of the angels.

And someone please tell me how McCain is going to increase the Bush welfare plan for the nation’s wealthiest people, increase defense spending, and balance the budget. Remember “Voodoo Economics”?
