Add in the replacement of up to 3 Supreme Court justices and life as we know it will change. I hope this isn't something any of you are comfortable with.
I've argued one should vote for McCain for just this reason. I think government works best when there's a balance of power.

As for the Supreme court, I'm less concerned with confirming one idiology over the other and more concerned with objective skilled people who will do their best to interpret the constitution. I happened to like Roberts...Alito quite a bit less.
