I hope America elects someone who fucks us over more. Maybe then we'll realize the mistakes we've been making for so long. I mean jesus, we re-elected Bush in '04, that says enough.

I think McCain is actually one of the less crooked politicians. His history of employment consists of: serving in the military and being a senator. He is not independently wealthy. In fact, he is very likely the poorest Presidential candidate in recent history.
Now, the Republicans certainly have no business winning this election. But if they are to have a chance, John McCain is the man. He is basically a moderate Republican who is willing to compromise (see bills with Kennedy and Feingold). If Obama or Clinton were elected they would certainly not govern as moderates, they would govern to the far left as a reactionary policy toward the Bush administration.
On that same note, if Obama and Clinton were to run on the same ticket, I believe they would undoubtedly win. But I am sure their egos will get in the way and that will not happen. McCain has several superb VP choices: Jindal, Romney, and Crist. All three are young, intelligent, and engaging. My money is on Romney, but I would personally prefer Jindal. Crist is a fantastic governor of Florida as well, but I'm afraid he's too moderate for McCain to pick him.
