If McCain had been elected, he'd just be getting around to learning "how to do a Google." (He'd need to find out what stock derivatives meant, and to find out what a uigur is.)
As for Vice President Palin --- well, he could keep her locked up in a closet, bound and gagged. (Just as Obama ought to be doing with Joe Biden.)
Seriously, though -- given the number and scope of the problems which hit Obama immediately upon taking office, I don't think McCain could have done much better.
Look on the birght side: at least this way, the liberal brand is being as mauled as badly as the conservative one has been for the past eight years...
They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation's hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration.
They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled in the Middle East, and now, tens of thousands of additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan.
My Democrat Party friends told me if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get worse and sure enough unemployment is at 9.4% and the new stimulus packages implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any time since the Islamic Terrorists attacks of 9-11.
They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "crooks" in high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees and Senate appointments revealed resumes of scandal, bribery and tax fraud.
They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "Pork at the trough" in Federal government and sure enough, 17,500 "Pork Bills" showed up in Congress since January 2009.
I was also told by my Democrat friends that if I voted for McCain, we would see more deficit spending in Washington, D. C. , and sure enough, Obama has spent more in just 30 days than all other Presidents together - in the entire history of the good ole USA!!
Well, I voted for McCain in November and my Democrat friends were right... all of their predictions have come true!
The economy was tanking before the election, and would have continued to tank no matter who was elected. Did you vote for Bush? If so: THANKS!
Obama was very clear during the campaign that Afghanistan would be the U.S. military focus.
Again, the economy would have gotten worse no matter who was elected.
Crooks? You mean the Republicans in Congress who are bought-off by industry interests?
Where do those "pork bills" come from? How many of them are from Republicans trying to derail legislation?
More deficit spending would have occurred regardless of who was President.
I didn't want to vote for McCain but couldn't vote for Obama so I just voted against Obama by voting for McCain. The system screwed me. Actually, I voted for Sarah and that white haired guy who ran with her.

Would have come true with the result you wanted as well. Only difference is the Republican voters knew what they were voting for.

You voted for Palin? wow you must really hate this country.

LOL.
I voted for McCain out of respect for his service to the country.
My vote was purely symbolic, since I live in a state that is so blue we have schools named for Billie Holiday.
