...on the path to recovery.

Doesn't surprise me one bit that John McCain has launched a very negative campaign against Barack Obama. McCain, in so many respects, is unprincipled. A politician prepared to resort to smear tactics to try to win. Winning is everything. And McCain is desperate. It'll hurt his ego if he loses. And besides, McCain is an old man. As old as me. So maybe he figures it's now or never. Really, McCain should retire. From the Senate. From public office. I don't think his mind and body can take 4 years in the presidency. He won't make it. And that means his vice presidential choice, Sarah Palin, would become president. That would be a national disaster. The end of America as we know it. Time to flee to Canada.
Anyway, I think there's a good chance that Obama will win. The polls show him pulling ahead. And that makes me feel good about America. To know that Americans would repudiate McCain-Palin. But one can never be sure. After all, Americans elected George Bush twice. That has brought the nation to the verge of ruin. Maybe Obama and his administration can put America back on the path to recovery. --Jim Broede
