I look forward to my masochistic side making me feel oddly disappointed when these destructive, demented dead-enders lose. (If they win, I'm going to go, like, shitting-into-bell-jars crazy.)
Part of the tragedy of this election cycle is that, four years ago, a lot of self-identifying moderates and centrists (including myself) thought McCain was pretty cool. I'm on record as having hoped that Kerry would choose him as a running mate. As recently as a couple of years ago, I was actively hoping that we'd one day see a McCain presidency with a Democractic-controlled Congress.
All this was before he revealed himself to be willing to sink to any depth to gain office. Suffice it to say that I have lost nearly all my respect for him and his party since those days.
