Well, I certainly wouldn't pick lettuce for $50/hour but I'm sure many Americans would.

I don't actually strongly dislike McCain politically. A significant part of my personal dislike of him has to do with a fear of hearing for 4 or 8 years "my friends" 23 times a day and in every single skit comedy show (which, by the way, is another advantage of Obama; he'll open new employment opportunities for black sketch comedians who have skills beyond rap impersonation).

But my huge disagreements with McCain tend to be in those places where he has been most partisan. I am, for example, stoutly against McCain-Feingold (as I am against any limitation on political contributions by individual humans to any campaign or cause they wish).

And while I won't vote for him, if somehow he gets elected anyway, I won't be super upset by it. At least not with what I currently know of him.

But since I don't like him personally (and have alternative that I do like personally if not so much politically) and do consider his age to be a concern, I'm not going to vote for him.
