A Feeling Of Dread

John Derbyshire pretty well nails it:
I don’t want either of these men in charge of the federal government, neither the crazy old fool nor the simpering sophomore. I don’t want either the moralistic imperialism of John McCain or the welfare-state-to-the world sentimentalism of Barack Obama. I don’t want my country represented by either a Compassionate Crusader or by Oprah Winfrey in drag.
Additionally:
... For this is the most disastrously awful choice Americans have ever been offered for the post of chief executive.
A feeling of dread? Yes, about the next four years.

John's final shot in his article:
What a disaster! What on earth has happened to us? Nothing yet as bad as what will surely happen if either of these two gibbering numbskulls gets his hands on the levers of supreme executive power.
