I don't see McCain having the resources or the backing to expand that war and I don't see Obama being able to walk away from it. McCain misconceives the problem. He thinks it's Iraq, when in fact, it's Al Qaeda. There are many, many options between expanding and walking away. I don't think that's what he would pick--he's just too collaborative and non-ideological--but neither of us is doing any more than speculating. Of course, we are speculating. What else could it be? I doubt either of us have insider information. But McCain made any number of promises about his judicial appointments. It's, finally, the litmus test for the social conservatives, the present party base. If we walked away from that one, the Reps would be in even worse shape than at present. No, he will go Roberts; not Alito. Roberts. Because he seems smooth to all of them. Alito lack Roberts charm. Though they are the same pov.
