Tolerable?

I used to think that I could live with John McCain as president, that he would be much more tolerable than W.

But then he picked his running mate.

And now I read things like this in the New York Times:

All in all, it’s astonishing that Mr. McCain seems determined to return to Mr. Bush’s first-term policies that have been utterly discredited even within the administration. Judging from Mr. McCain’s own positions, on foreign policy he could well end up more Bush than Bush.
