Glenn Beck: McCain would've been worse than Obama as President

In an interview with Katie Couric for cbsnews.com, Glenn Beck, the poster boy for a grassroots renegade movement against the powers that be (usually Democrats), said John McCain was a worse choice for president than Barack Obama, and that he may have even considered voting for Hillary Clinton, and not McCain, had she been the democratic nominee.

The rest of the interview will be on the web later today, and I expect a lot of people will check it out, if only to hear his reasons why.  Beck is getting a lot of attention because he's striking a nerve with a lot of people in his commentaries.  People tend to gravitate toward people with whom they agree and find some common ground.

Now, I'm not sure Beck really believes all that he says-- but, those who follow him are making him seem like a wise business choice, if nothing else.  As a businessman, he's a Rush Limbaugh for TV.  The big winner in this is Katie Couric, who will likely get a lot of new people to sample her style online and maybe even her broadcast.

Here's part of the clip that's been release:


It will be on cbsnews.com at 7pm ET.
