seems unelectible because then you get Nixon v. McGovern, where McGovern carried only Massachusetts, not even his own home state.

The alternative of McCain Palin sure seemed like way too big a risk.

The good news (though more like gallows good news): "Freedom's just another word for nuthin' left to lose."

As the differences between the two parties get smaller and smaller, risks don't seem as big. If it's only going to be Frick v. Frack, then it may as well be Hero v. Frack, even if Frack wins. Funny thing, though. At the time, I thought it was Hero v. McCain.
