I've been disenfranchised by the primary system (Oregon's primary isn't until May, at which point we might as well not have a primary at all) but I'm glad it looks like McCain.
And yes, he stands an excellent chance at two terms. If Hillary runs against him in 2012 she'll very likely get her ass handed to her again. I said several months ago that Americans would see a black male president long before we'd EVER see a female, and I'm right. Hillary's many flaws aside, sexism is just too deeply entrenched in our culture. Bill Clinton can do one thing and people praise him for his strength, and then Hillary can do exactly the same thing and people sneer, "What a bitch." And the fact that she IS an incompetent political hack doesn't help.
All this Democrat infighting is just fine with me. I can live with a President McCain.
