McCain? Seriously? I saw that as a disaster in the making, and there were a number of bad democrat choices as well. Obama in particular isn't perfect. An analogy I read online is that perfection would be the movie "Inherit the Wind", Obama is more like "Ghostbusters". To finish the analogy, Bush is "Plan 9 From Outer Space", and Ghostbusters is a massive improvement. However, it is far from the ideal. The most we can say is it's the right track.
McCain would have merely continued Bush's policies. There's little doubt of that, because McCain's positions at the end of the campaign made that very clear. He may have kept saying he's a maverick and "not Bush", but the days when that was actually true died when he started, one by one, selling out his actual positions and taking up the Bush doctrine. Palin is an uneducated moron, and that is more than enough reason to reject her outright. I don't care how well intentioned someone is, if they run around making uninformed decisions, it's no different than flailing around in the wind hoping something good happens randomly. Evil I can tolerate, but stupidity... oooohhh... *rambles like Farnsworth*

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
