I don't think it would do any of them any good, and it just wouldn't fit. I didn't think too much about McCain until I read that article about him in Newsweek about 3 weeks ago...maybe longer. I got a better appreciation for his war record and his idea of correcting mistakes, but finding out what a temper he has (and uses) wasn't impressive.Erin Teichert Barbutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404660921703909400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23935428.post-29718749153210615982008-02-19T23:37:00.000-07:002008-02-19T23:37:00.000-07:00I know this is a bit late for a response, but look...I know this is a bit late for a response, but looking at what happened in the primaries in West Virginia and a few other states, I think that Huckabee and McCain are "in bed together". Now that Romney has dropped out and Huckabee is taking the more conservative Christian types, without saying anything against McCain, I see him being the VP Nominee. That being said, I do not think they would have a chance of beating Obama...but might have a chance of beating Hillary. Not sure who I would vote for, but I am not particularly happy with any of the candidates thus far, and they all scare me in their own ways. I think that voting for the lesser of 2 or 3 evils is not what the founding father had in mind with the system (something that Paul might yack about). So there is my conspiracy theory, I should throw in my dissertation has taken me away from the TV and election news for about 2 weeks, so I may be a bit behind on my opinions, but school does tht to you.Allison Hollingsworth Deminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843508736845855885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23935428.post-79197497718866051682008-02-19T10:09:00.000-07:002008-02-19T10:09:00.000-07:00As I said in another comment, I have no loyalty to...As I said in another comment, I have no loyalty to either party. I vote for people who I think will do a good job. <BR/>I voted for Romney in the primary because I disagreed with him the least of the candidates. Now I really don't know what I'm going to do. I will probably end up voting for McCain (I might even use the expression, "hold my nose and vote for McCain") despite my alleged lack of loyalty to the Republicans. Obama and Clinton are just too ecomonically, um, left. <BR/>By the way, has anybody else seen Clinton's "Economic Blueprint for the 21st Century"? What a piece of work. Maybe I'll write a review of it.JonFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692440807087956879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23935428.post-80632233301866185742008-02-13T17:45:00.000-07:002008-02-13T17:45:00.000-07:00I was one who said that I wouldn't vote for my can...I was one who said that I wouldn't vote for my candidate if my preferred candidate didn't win, which he didn't.<BR/>Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do in November. I really feel like there's no one left that really represents my views on some very important issues. I'm not sure what my civic duty is when I don't want either candidate to be president. Ideas, anyone?<BR/><BR/>While I appreciate that McCain is willing to go against the republican party on issues where he disagrees with the consensus, for me he's picked the wrong issues to be independent on. I saw an editorial in the paper today suggesting that conservatives stop complaining and change what it means to be a conservative; it's as if they were saying, "since you don't have a candidate with all the conservative values, just change what it means to be a conservative so it matches your candidates values". That is both wrong and dumb. I don't pick my stand on issues based what the republican party says, I pick the republican party because it best lines up with my views.<BR/><BR/>I don't think McCain has much of a chance anyway unless by some miracle Clinton gets the nomination.morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007030723711454090noreply@blogger.com
