It probably wouldnt... McCain proved int he debate that he ain't nuttin' , not even on foreign policy. He knows alot of people, but his judgement = ass

No.

You bomb Iran, oil jumps $50 overnight, we're back to $4/gallon and Americans will be pretty pissed off about the whole ordeal.

That would send our economy off the plank at a faster clip. And we know what that means for McCain's numbers.

No because it would spike the price of oil hurting the economy even more. If Obama is elected I would not be shocked if israel launches a major attack in december. I would not blame them as they fear Obama being soft and not really on their side.

I'd blame them and I'd support cutting them off from all economic and military support.

Hell I support that now. Why does a prosperous Israel need $3 billion a year from US taxpayers? Why don't they ask that question in the debates?

Try getting elected with that.
