If McCain were to win...

In yesterday's New York Times, Frank Rich wrote about what Barack Obama has to do to take out John McCain. He concludes with these words: "R.I.P., 'Change We Can Believe In.' The fierce urgency of the 21st century demands Change Before It’s Too Late."

Within the article, Rich says in a nutshell what we will get if McCain wins:

"What we have learned this summer is this: McCain’s trigger-happy temperament and reactionary policies offer worse than no change. He is an unstable bridge back not just to Bush policies but to an increasingly distant 20th-century America that is still fighting Red China in Vietnam and the Soviet Union in the cold war. As the country tries to navigate the fast-moving changes of the 21st century, McCain would put America on hold."

To say the least.
