I predict a heart attack for McCain before the election. He hasn't looked healthy for months, and low-roading carries a built-in stress that does not bode well for longevity. McCain is a pretty crappy excuse for a human being anyway, and such a person running for President of the United States at age 72 had better have a strong constitution.
If McCain loses, the future doesn't look so good for Palin either. Impeachment and/or recall is likely when she returns to Alaska. She will have the added burden of holding on to her absurdly dysfunctional family.
As for the country as a whole, this election is likely the denouement of incivility in our various forms of interaction - TV, politics, work, social life, family life. McCain, by being such a piece of crap, might just achieve the heroism that he has been so mistakenly been ascribed: as the final poster boy of intemperance and nastiness, he can serve as the national exorcised demon.
