Calling him McBush is such a joke, as he is so far removed from Bush's political agenda, that I still can't believe he won the nomination. McCain's record is widely known and public (unlike Obama's). He's a super-moderate, almost liberal Republican who has consistently crossed party lines. That said, he best fits the majority of the voters in this country (slightly right of center). Unless some crafty campaign tricks skew the basic tenets, McCain will win easily over Mr. I'm so liberal I want to make the US like socialist France Obama.
If McCain picks Lieberman for a running mate, then that will probably just solidify the election.

McCain is not that far removed from Bush's policies. Sure there are a few things that they disagree on like funding stem cell research, drilling in ANWR and assault weapons, but it is the war, economy and how to handle them that people are talking about when they call him McBush. Not to mention he is not that smart.
I am afraid that in order to get out of the mess we are in as a country a "cross your fingers and stay the course" approach isn't going to work.
Just as the"stay and pray" approach isn't working in Iraq.
