(Actually now with PhD, but Doctor of Philosophy just doesn't have the same evil ring, does it?)I'm going to take a little leap here. Well, actually, it doesn't seem like a leap to me. It seems depressingly obvious. Here's my prediction for next prez.
The Man has played the social system again. Women vs. Blacks. Sexism vs. racism. Hierarchy of oppression, bell hooks be damned.
So regardless of who wins the Democratic nomination, people are going to vote "personality not party", and McCain is going to win because many who typically vote Democrat will be buying into the racism and sexism and thinking their feeling really is about the candidates.
Yeah, people are sick of Republican government at this point, but they think McCain is different, so this will be a different Republican administration. Forgetting that McCain the individual comes with a whole bunch of other Republicans who will be advancing the usual Republican ideals and goals.
Depressing.

Sadly, I fear your predictions are true, but I have a small glimmer of hope that more and more educators want to get rid of NCLB, and I'm hoping those educators will know who to vote for, and that ain't McCain - oh didn't he say something about keeping the war going for 50 more years if he had to?
