McCain scares me almost even more. I don't think he's evil or basically imperialistic. I think he just doesn't know how to think other than with military strength and winning at all costs. But maybe even scarier than that is his love affair with his maverick image and his penchant for impulsive action. I forget which of the many things I read yesterday said it, but I thought it very apt. It described McCain as being like an amateur chess player, who makes a move just to see what will happen.
