    I wonder how many seconds it took after McCain said those words that the prints started? 10 seconds? 15?

    Maybe McCain should be thinking along the lines of Obama being 'The One' rather than 'that one'

    I need to have a vote in order to comment? Wow....is that a little known clause in the Patriot Act? (which btw they both voted for...)

    "there is no reason to vote for either of these morons." Your words.
    If you feel there is no reason to vote for either, why are you concerned enough about the Presidentials to make comment on it?

    Or was your point, 'don't vote'? Without voting, there's no election, no public choice.
    Who would chose the incumbent? The Supreme Court? The Senate? Congress?

    You seem to be looking for a "big mad radical" as a candidate. The last thing needed is a "big mad radical" President.

    We could, of course, go with your apathy view and not bother voting at all. That would be unique in a Republic.
