    to a more likely scenario, obama gets nominated. chimpygo and Tone in DC want to see Obama in a debate with McCain. THAT you will never see. why? imagine the entrance. Obama pushing McCain's wheelchair, Mac dressed in back-laced gown, Obama in orderly greens. then Obama playing the slick snooty lawyer gets McCain to bust a blood vessel in a rage - and people start to think, "do we need PTSD on the trigger?". NO this will never happen. his handlers won't allow him to get within 50 feet of Obama. after all, McCain doesn't worry for name recognition - everyone's heard of Cain. he too had a problem with violence. maybe a maverick but definitely too old for East of Eden.
