Fatty I know this is going to be extremely difficult for you to comprehend so I'll try to stick to small words to explain the concept: I very truly want to see Barak Obama elected President of the United States this fall. McCain's policies, while they would produce less short-term damage to the nation than those of Barak or the Hildebeeste, would tar the Republicans for a generation and we cannot afford to have both political parties living in fantasyland for the next couple of decades. If we're to head left I say make it the sharpest left turn possible as the ensuing disaster will certainly cause a snapback and move to the right that will persist far beyond the 2012 election. See e.g., the election of 1980 and the subsequent shift in the Dems longstanding control of Congress for historical precedent. Really this stuff isn't that hard, do try to keep up.
