Gosh...not even close. Now we have: bad economy, corruption, unnecessary war, scandal, low dollar, reduced middle class spending power, HUGE deficit...need I go on?

Moreover, many of what you list were not in our control. Everything I can list was a direct result of bad policy.

Sure, not many, but yes. I began this by saying how disappointed I was in McCain, as 8 yrs ago, I liked him a lot.

Since then, he's flip-flopped and I've learned more about him. I also like & respect Chuck Hagel. I like Mayor Bloomberg a whole lot.

Sorry to ruin your theory.

May I ask which Democrats they are? NOTE: They must be currently alive.
