I honestly didn't think the Repubs could find a weaker candidate than 1996's Bob Dole. I have been proven wrong again and again with this campaign. My god, my god - McCain is milquetoast. His voice is weak, his "ideas" are weaker, his "debate" with Obama is based on ... Obama's celebrity???? That's the best he can come up with?
Jonathan, I agree. I will say this for Dole-- I didn't vote for him, and he has his own flaws and hypocrisies (as I suppose everyone in that profession does), but I think he has more character than McCain. At least, as a vet himself, Dole didn't spit on veterans' benefits, and he also worked with George McGovern for years to protect programs that helped the poor and working-class, like food stamps. I can't see McCain doing something like that.
And even though I agree about the "patheticness" about McCain, for some reason he has a loyal coterie in the press that Dole didn't, and that will be hard for Obama to overcome. I think he WILL, eventually, but crushes seem to die hard for the Beltway pundits.

Pathetic. Utterly and completely pathetic.
