A. Voter Turnout - Dem voter turn out was at least double the Republicans in the primary elections. In some states, it was even higher. B. Republican Fragmentation - I voted in the Republican primary bc I cared who won. Between the candidates still standing, I don't care who wins. My dissent won't be quelled. A lot of the Republican base hates McCain. Republican turnout may well be even lower in November. Not exactly…

I think McCain is far more prone to cronyism than obama in terms of cabinet appointment. I believe that all the current leading candidates have enough leadership skill to work with their cabinet and would not simply rely on their cabinet. Plus, the purportedly less experienced of them would certainly stack the deck in their favor with a competent cabinet if they had any sense. yes, you make a great point about the cabinet.

They claimed that even though Bush doesn't know much about policies, as shown in one of his interviews when he couldn't name leaders of foreign countries, that he will have a "strong cabinet" to make sure things run smoothly. Well that was an utter disaster. What Bush voters failed to think about was that right off the bat, Bush would have to decide on a cabinet and heads of agencies. It just so happened it was his cronies, donors, and golfing buddies, and they sure made a mess of things. IMO, don't vote for someone who would have to rely on his cabinet to get things done, but someone who would work with his cabinet to get things done.
