Would have been nicer in retrospect if he wasn't going the be the guy who replaces Jimmy Carter in the pantheon of modern presidential failures.

Maybe our first Mormon and then first female (Nikkey Haley?) presidents will do better at breaking some firsts that don't turn out to be winces. I'd once thought Joe LIeberman was gonna be our first Jewish president - any up and coming guys who might take his place?

PS - I think, in many ways, McCain would have been a worse president, just in different ways.

In no way is this relevant to your comment... but I thought you'd get a kick out of it.

Eric Cantor? Boy I hope not.

Yikes, did NOT even occur to me. Surely no ambitions there given his history?

Haha. Yeah. I'm sure he hijacked our financial security last year just because he was looking out for the American people.
