#3 It couldn't be because they haven't done a goddamned thing since being elected could it? They had their chance to craft an energy bill and other things that would have had some impact on voters, but they didn't. So screw em.

#4 Intrade.com has McCain winning. They have a better prediction record than the polls.

#5 The Trunks don't have to win Congress, just whittle it down to a margin filled with DINOs. Then if the Congressional Trunk leadership [I know an oxymoron] showed as much imagination as McCain, they'd back one of the DINOs as Speaker [DINOs + Trunks = dethroned Nancy]. Saw that done in the NM Statehouse. Cleared the place of some old hacks, who decided to pack it in after that.

#7 People are going crazy, telling the campaign 'you've got to do something'."

#8 Get some Republican newcomers to ride into office on McCain's coattails and suddenly you have the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives all turning red. Get enough Republican senators and McCain has an easy time with SCOTUS appointees. And there'd be nothing like a bumper crop of freshmen representatives to keep McCain honest about immigration. OK, folks. I'm beginning to come around.

#9 I'd be happy with divided government. It does less and is less corrupt.
