Check out the "Candidate" starring Robert Redford. The end line was, after they won, "what do we do now?" McCain will hit the ground running as he can keep the Bush cabinet and all those thousands of appointees that make the gov't run.(face it, those are the folks that make things work on a daily basis no matter what your hysterical polictics). Most of us have never or ever will heard their names, the faceless civil servants corps) that run the govt. But considering the politics, if Obama wins, he has to start all over, and find and appoint thousands of managers-a daunting task to anyone. Try attracting the best with govt wages. I assume McCain will change out a lot of folks, but he will have a government with all in place. Obama has to start over and find competent folks that are willing to move to DC(ha!). It took Clinton years to fill these posts, Bush had it done in about a year(remember, Bush had both house of Congress when he started). Remember, they all have to be approved by the Congress, which is problematical and subject to raw partisan politics. Obama will be stuck in the mud of Washington, a newbie with ideas but no street cred, McCain the old warrior with a ready made bureaucracy. We are in a crisis of massive proportion. Who wants to take the crap shoot on the newbie?
