2000 was my first election and I was a McCain supporter for 2 reasons:
1. he had a fully-functional brain
2. he was not the son of a former President
Looking back (and mind you my views have evolved considerably since then), I can see that we were screwed either way. McCain would have responded to 9/11 the same way Bush did and been even more liberal on economics. He wanted campaign finance reform and government social security and bunch of other liberal crap that makes fiscal conservatives want to vomit in their mouths! I can see now why alot of GOPers saw right through this man for the closet-Democrat he was/is. Mac still could have won, though, if he had simply retaliated with the same Rove-ian attacks that the Bush campaign slaughtered him with. It would have turned very ugly and brutal, alas, Mac was too "mr-nice-guy" for that.
