Mc Cain as the nominee in 2000 there wouldn't have been a close race, and there'd be no race now. Que sera sera....

I love John McCain. I wanted him to kill W so bad in 2000 and was dejected when they annoited Alfred E. the New Prince. But selah, it was destiny. Who are the decent to stand in the way of the Bush destiny?
I wonder, if you removed the economic issues and the war from the equation, and made this election just about the social issues, what the electoral map would look like. My guess is it would be almost exclusively blue, and substantively would show a small very angry minority of people versus 90% of the country. The prime difference between the two groups would be fear. One group would be afraid of the future, the other would have a "lets deal with the troubles progress brings as they arise" approach.
