re: #175 Racer X

Hypothetical:

Say McCain and Palin won. Where would we be RIGHT NOW?

Part owners of GM and Chrysler - throwing money at them they will never repay? Tripling down on the debt? Cramming legislation up our asses with no oversight or debate? Cabinet full of tax cheats? The country divided like never before?

Be honest - how bad would it be RIGHT NOW?

RacerX -

OK, let me try -

GM and Chrysler - Merged, and under “Conservatorship” - looking forward to re-selling their combined equity to the private market. (Wish - Buick was terminated, Pontiac remaining as the “Middle Make” - Go To pontiac.com and buick.com - there were more Pontiacs available in 2009 than Buicks in 2010!). Dodge, or Chrysler - flip a coin - remains, building the best of both, the other name dies. Jeep - Stays, with a slimmed down model line.
Debt - would have been increased - not NEARLY as much.
Cabinet - PROBABLY BETTER - Not Perfect.
Country - As Divided in 2008 more or less.
World - Has a Strong POTUS and VPOTUS - Such as was missing in 1961, and 2009.
