I'm hoping the USAF actually showed some shrewdness:

McCain has had a stiffie for the USAF ever since the crooked leased tanker deal and has just pilliored every USAF civil and uniformed leader who has appeared before him. Therefore, if he wins the Presidency, the USAF still gets its desparately needed new tankers.

However, should Clinton or Obama win, I'm still betting that the contract is re-let and/or split to keep Boeing in the game.

However, I'm retired as of today! Not my problem anymore.

Good luck to those still in!
