George W. Bush talks about why John McCain's endorsement is important to him. Salon went beyond the Beltway to take the nation's pulse. Their answers may surprise you. Of course the solutions prescribed radically differ. I don't think anything is at stake.
People act as if their candidate winning is a life and death matter.
They think things will get better if their guy wins. I don't like stepping on people, don't like to be associated with that kind of distraught energy. We're going to be so well off in the coming century, and it has nothing to do with politicians. The computer economy is what's driving the prosperity. It's the Yahoos, Apples and Microsofts that are creating a better life, not politicians.
