What happens to John McCain if he loses this election? Does he go back to the Senate, and never run for POTUS again? How will a loss affect his legacy?
I really, really liked the guy before this summer, and while I prefer Obama to win this election, I would really like a guy like McCain to go out on top. This is his second go around that I can recall and if he doesn't get it this time, what will you remember most about him?
P.S. I know it is too early to be asking such questions, but Obama probably has a long political career ahead of him given his age. If Obama loses, he most certainly will try again. |

| I think McCain will stay in the Senate as long as possible and I think if Obama loses he'll fade away faster than Doukakis... |

You don't think Obama would go back to his Senate seat? Why do you suggest he would just fade away? Especially at his age? |

| I think the Dems used him and will throw him aside if he loses the election and back Hillary full force next time...He'll probably work for CNN if he loses, that's my guess since they use teleprompters and I think he's smart enough to take advantage of his strengths... |

Interesting take. |

| He's too much of an asset and a highly intelligent party motivator to fade. Given his age he will probably run again for POTUS. If McCain loses he's probably done; third and last opportunity. |

McCain is done for one way or the other. He was knocked off the last time by a GOP candidate and this time he will be derailed by the Dem candidate. When he loses, he will go back to the Senate but no one there will care or listen to him. No one does now so why would they then?
Obama will remain a force in the Dem party and will run again next time around. If this happens, we'll see a re-reun of Obama vs Hillary .... except she'll be 4 years older and many of her old while supporters who would would not bring themselves to vote for Obama this election would have passed away.

Obama would fade away if he loses as he would actually need to start voting, building a resume of making decisions and creating legislation. Things he hasn't proven he can do as of now. |

Do you seriously believe the things you say or are you just trying to be an agitator? If it is the latter, I wouldn't be embarrassed to admit it. Obama can't make decisions and create legislation? |

Obama knows how to vote present. Does that count? |

| You asked for opinions and then do not take them from others. Sorry, just an observation. |

I get it, and thanks for the clarification. I was seeking more than opinions, I was trying to have a discussion as well. What I wasn't looking for were false statements which is what I was responding to.
Obama does know how to write/create legislations and has demonstrated he can do more than vote present. But what I really started this thread for was not to hear what they can and can't do, I wanted to hear others express what they thought would come of the loser.
Maybe my arrogance got the best of me.

| If McCain loses he'll probably retire in a couple of years and figure out how to spend 300 million with his wife. I'm sure he is not too worried about his future. |

This is the last hurray election, whom ever will win will be a four year president at most. They will have to deal with the most difficult times ever presented. The person will age 20 years in 4 and be blamed for everything, if it's Obama the Democrats will be sunk and blamed, if it's McCain the Republicans will be sunk and blamed.
The next president after this election will be not of Democrat or Republican origin, as many are sick and tired of them selling us out. Maybe a Ron Paul type?
There is an area on the California/Oregon Border they are so ticked off at the two states they are going to do anything they can to become an independent 51st state, they already have a radio station and declared their own independence, it includes 5 counties.

I doubt it. He will enjoy as much of his wife's money as she allows him to.
