Obamamania is like assimilation into the Star Trek Borg. The talk about "change," but the only change they seem to want is a return backward to appeasement, and bigger big government than we've heretofore ever seen. If the Conservative base doesn't get it, they deserve to be on the sidelines watching a government, so far out in left field (that it's in the left field bleachers) making Supreme Court nominations for the next twenty years. The obsession with McCain's occasional variations from right wing orthodoxy is an absurdity in the face of what's at risk here. The more the Right wing tries to box McCain in by forcing him to the right, they destroy his electability, and give us Obama.
