Presidential Politics

As a conservative, I feel like we have a choice of a centrist (McCain) and a socialist (Obama) in the election this fall. Kind of like this (and yup, that is an actual bell curve, Gaussian distribution, exp(-x^2):

The way I drew this chart, it looks McCain will win by a landslide. But that is not what the polls are saying. I know there are a bunch of others like me who think McCain is too liberal, but our voices are not being reflected in the polls. Is America really ready for socialism? George Soros as Secretary of the Treasury? Hillary Clinton as Secretary of Health and Human Services? Maxine Waters as Secretary of Labor? Some pacifist as Secretary of Defense? No more conservative talk radio (the "Fairness" Doctrine re-applied)? Total ban of handguns so only the thugs will have handguns? Is that really what America wants for the next four years?
