The silver lining - if there is one - in a McCain loss

I'm getting to the point that a small, albeit a very small, part of me wants Barack Obama to win the 2008 presidential election. My reasons are several:

1) His rabid supporters will find out just how dangerous he is, and how destructive financially and socially his tenure is to this country;

2) With the highest elective office being held by a black, there no longer will be excuses for blacks to complain about their status in this country;

3) Whites, particularly liberal whites, finally will be absolved of their guilt over the supposed beleaguered condition of blacks in this country and for the problems blacks suffered as the result of slavery;

4) The "race card" no longer will be able to be used every time someone criticizes a black.

Despite these reasons, I steadfastly support John McCain for president simply because he is the best qualified to lead this country. Unfortunately, being the best qualified for anything nowadays in this country doesn't count for much. It's not about what is right or wrong, but what is politically correct.
