Not suggesting that the two issues are minor, but I'm not sure in this context the consequences are major. Regardless of the attitude of the winner re the war, there aren't a lot of choices. Obama can't clear out and McCain can't escalate. I would not expect them do act much differently. Re the SC, there's probably only one choice to be made. While a McCain presidency would cost the opportunity to get a strong liberal in there, a McCain presidency wouldn't likely move the court to the right. Major issues, not so major consequences.

What's truly sad is that people hate how Washington works and the approval rating for Congress is way lower than Bush enjoys. So we are told, over and over and over, that we must settle for one of two senators who have been an integral part of the whole Washington mess the last 15-20 years. They are clearly part of the problem yet if we don't pick one of them we are making a terrible mistake and running an awful risk and believing in dreams and fairy tales and all the rest. It's amazing that this dysfunctional cesspool has created such a devoted coterie of supporters. What do we want? MORE OF THE SAME! When do we want it? NOW! AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER! VOTE THE CLOWNS IN AGAIN! Go figure.
