Your contrast of Hillary and McCain is very well put imd!
It makes me feel pretty sure that if McC had been in Hillary's shoes [and her age] that he would have deliberately sabotaged on order to have a run in 4 years-time.
In the end what can we say about McC's campaign?
Exactly what Imd says! Utter selfishiness.
Can one even imagine him calling it a fair-fight and offering to give support in this time of crisis?
As far as ego is concerned, obviously Obama is not devoid of it himself!
But he evinces a very clear and evident desire to do well - and he'll have to be a GREAT President, not only to confound the sceptics and the naysayers and the racists. but also because of the g_d awful world situation that he'll be walking into.
On the face of it it looks like a poisoned chalice!
In his favour is that the rest of the world is much more likely to give him credibility
than they would McSame - which is really ALL that he looks like from a distant view - and this is also where his German visit counts very strongly in his favour, even though the Conservative tried to pooh-pooh it.
The McCain response of finding half a dozen natives of wherever it was and taking them to a German diner was one of the very low spots of his "campaign".
If Obama wins then the US and the world has a chance.
McCain - its all over, finished, no chance, no hope, no CHANGE.

"Republicanism is all about me."
That statement is totally cool with me.
I do not dislike John McCain.
I respect the conservative viewpoint.
I have a big problem with the divide and conquer agenda.
We are all Americans!!!
Republicans (in my ignorant opinion) seem to restore the balance, from the times when government expanded to deal with crises.
The current administration has been an exception (in my ignorant opinion). It appears to me that the power and spending and size of government has doubled.
I do waste a bit of time reading stuff like the Federal budget.
I think it is time for a change, and I think it will take a strong government working hard to pull us out of the crap we are about to swim in.
For now: I think the Democrats tend to favor the folks that earn their income. Most of the tax cuts McCain is offering are for unearned income.
Back biting will only make it take longer before the Republicans can take charge again. Once again it is my opinion that the Republicans role is to reduce government in fair weather.
WE Americans have enjoyed more sunny days than rainy ones since the civil war. And the Republican Party has enjoyed power on those sunny days.
It is raining hard here in Philadelphia.
