moderate reublican realist?

With political analysis as wooden headed as this (McCain - moderate Republican realist? Obama - liberal left internationalist?) one is forced to conclude that ABSOLUTELY NONE of the assumptions of conclusions of this Atlantic.com piece are valid.

But what if the Europeans don’t get the message? Or what if Iran continues its cat-and-mouse negotiating mixed with intransigence? Israel’s future in this regard is indeed bleak. For even if a moderate Republican realist like John McCain, or even worse, a liberal-left internationalist like Barrack Obama, is elected president, each is likely to subsume Israel to larger geopolitical considerations, rather than hold it up as an icon to be both supported and worshipped in the post-9/11 era, as George W. Bush has done.
