[note: my very conservative friend & I actually manage to conduct fairly civil political discussions - both of us are sufficiently cynical to allow this.]
... anyway... during the conversation I said something to the effect that McCain would be W's 3rd term. His response? (paraphrased, from memory):
"If I thought McCain would be four more years of Bush, I'd vote for him. But I think he'd be worse!I mention this now only because this sentiment now aligns my very conservative friend with Paul Krugman!
"... the Obama campaign is wrong to suggest that a McCain-Palin administration would just be a continuation of Bush-Cheney. If the way John McCain and Sarah Palin are campaigning is any indication, it would be much, much worse."I'll send my very conservative friend this thought via email as soon as this is posted!

Stop the madness!
Just read that article, it was good.
