Nope. Can't see it. He has totally sold his soul to get elected. He called the religious nutcats "agents of intolerance" and spanked them solidly during his last campaign. Now he is all lovey dovey with them, even throwing them the bone of Palin in an attempt to get elected. He promised an honorable campaign, but has in fact run one of the nastiest campaigns in history - even Karl "no trick too dirty" Rove called him on it.
Even if he did disavow it after being elected, I would never trust him. A man who will sell his honor - so sad. He also seems to me to be showing severe signs of aging. I spend a lot of time caring for elderly parents. They have real problems making important decisions. Why would I want to elect one of them as President?
