After Hillary lost the primary, I even considered McCain since he seemed reasonable and had the experience, but that was before the Palin pick. I watched Palin speak at the convention, and that was the end of my brief toying with the idea of voting GOP. Not to mention his wacky behavior during the campaign, and the types of crowds he and Palin attracted.

I got more informed about Obama and got more impressed. I'm glad we have a sober-minded, intelligent, deliberate President in office, rather than a shoot-from-the-hip cowboy or a "maverick". I don't agree with Obama 100% on every issue, but I wish him the best and he has my support.
Very well said, and agree 100%

Picking either of those is picking the lessor of two evils. Evil is still evil.
I backed Ron Paul. I'd also vote for Nader or Baldwin. I wouldn't vote for McCain or Obama.

Obama

Not crazy about him by any means, but far better than the alternative.

What does that have to do with anything?

The last time I checked, Bush wasn't a candidate in the 2008 election.

You do know that Bush wasn't running this time, right?

Ron Paul! Dr. Paul was on the ballot in Montana. My vote was one of 12,000 votes.
