Because, regardless of how I feel about Obama. It is really hard to argue that McCain would have been much different. The only difference is that, if McCain was the president, the anti-war left would still be energized. Right now the anti-war left has been completely immasculated because they are afraid of making their guy look bad. The war-mongering Republicans are actually trying to turn themselves into the anti-war party, and it is pathetic.

McCain still supported a public-option healthcare, he supported the bailouts, he supported(at the time) immigration reform including pushing to give legal citizenship to current illegals, and he definitely wanted the wars to continue possibly indefinitely.


If given another chance at the entire 2008 presidential election. I would have voted exactly the same. I would have voted for Ron Paul in the Republican primary, and if Paul didn't win the Republican primary, then I would have voted Obama in the general election.

Palin really is a super idiot. I seriously don't know how anyone can actually take her seriously. I don't know why she is constantly the spokesman for the Republican party. She certainly doesn't represent the independents at all(which is what the Republicans need to win).

Obama is an idiot, but at least he is a likeable idiot(like Carter), and gives the impression that he is well-informed. Even if he really has no idea what he is doing, and spends too much of his time blaming the Republicans for everything.



I would vote a Dennis Kucinich on the state level, and a Ron Paul on the national level. But that is because I believe that every state is different and unique. And should be allowed to create its own policies as a reflection of the citizens of its own state. And the federal government should stick to its constitutional role. Protecting the national defense of this country, and regulating trade between foreign nations and between the states. And should stay completely out of social engineering through unelected/life-termed activist judges via the unconstitutional 14th amendment.

Agreed and great post! It's refreshing to see there are still intelligent voters out there. Not just an "Us or them" mentality that far too many people follow.

Now, 18 months later, I am convinced I did the right thing.

I do feel for Senator McCain. I bet hardly a day goes by that he doesn't think "Oh! Why didn't I choose A or B? Or even C or D? Why did I chose P?"

If he had been younger with no cancer history, maybe I would have ignored the possibility of Ms. Palin becoming president (much like I ignored Mr. Quayle).

I wonder if McCain/the Republic party *knew* about the struggles they'd have in trying to recover the economy and sabotaged themselves??

I am so totally with you on that one, she is a whack a do
