I think Obama is better than Clinton, but I have an almost impossible time supporting a Socialist myself... but I consider Bush pretty Socialist in practice, even if his friends and cohorts are industrial elites.

If McCain were the McCain of 8 years ago I would have no issues voting for him, in fact I voted for him in the GOP primaries... however the new, NeoCon face of McCain is rather unsettling... combined with his age.

Impossible pick either way TBH.

Best case Scenario would be Obama getting President and conservatives controlling congress... not thinking this is a likely scenario, but it would be the most ideal.

Obama to combat the remnants of the Bush taint, and root out the obviously incompetant and corrupt ( even though Obamas replacements wouldnt likely be saints themselves, internal buearacratic conflict and changing personel would help alot of things) and a conservative congress to simply not pass Socialist legislation...

Embroil the whole govt in deadlock, and political fighting.

That is the best case scenario that has even a remote possibility of happening.
