A Delicious Dilemma

Despite the fact the two incumbent parties have so hijacked the system that no one even questions any longer the expense of over $100 million by each candidate to earn their parties nomination, making the office virtually inacessible to anyone who is not embedded in the two-party system, how wonderful this Presidential election is about to become, as soon as Hillary Clinton is forced to face the music.
We will be left (on the left hand) with Barack Obama, an amazingly gifted orator, an inspiring dynamic intellectual; who happens to be black, giving us the opportunity to participate in meaningful history by voting for him as President - and on the right hand with John McCain, an honest-to-goodness war hero (not a pretend hero who threw away medals he really didn't deserve), a man who has maintained a fierce individualism despite the pressure of his party, one who has demonstrated a willingness to work with both parties, one who has extraordinary experience in Foreign Policy and in Washington. We will, for once, actually have a choice as thinking voters - not just a determination of the lesser of two evils.
How delicious.
Best of all, both candidates have steadfastly refused to participate in dragging their opponents through the muck, both have stated outright that they respect the other, and both have set forth an expectation to change the politics of derision in America. It might actually be a General Election campaign that focuses on issues of weight - and by the conduct of its participants may even have enough cache to erase from our minds the sound and fury of the past year's primary debacles, to the point where everyone is aware that the tales they told signify nothing.
