Well neither are my first choice obviously, but John McCain believes in and campaigns for more of my beliefs and things that I feel strongly for than Obama does. Senator Obama downright scares me, so therefore, I will vote for McCain. The only way I won’t vote for McCain is if he chooses Huckabee as his VP choice. I’ve thought long and hard on this and asked myself what I would do in that situation and I have come to the conclusion that I won’t vote at all if Huck is on the ticket. I am still hoping that Mitt will be McCain’s running mate and it would be so much easier to vote McCain in that situation.

Chris:

Huckabee is a good man. He makes mistakes like all of us and sometimes makes bad jokes but he is a good man. But, McCain won’t pick Huckabee. He doesn’t bring anything McCain can’t do by himself.

Noelle:

You’re right, the American people feel like they have not been heard. It is time for a leader who has little regard for reputation and admirable commitment to the American people. After 8 years people are disappointed for a number of factors and they don’t rationalize. They harness that negativity and extract it and insert it into a useless vote. A vote of a person who is himself ‘unchartered waters’.

McCain needs to reach out and grasp those moderates/independents/hillary clinton supporters. And although I would have liked McCain to have a much stronger grasp on his party first, it is time to move forward and begin the victory race to accomplish the goal - having John McCain seated in the Oval Office on January 21, 2009.

Here is how I see it (and I hope I can articulate my feelings): Neither McCain nor Obama are who I would like to see as president of the United States. I don’t like either of them. Some may say, well, McCain is not as bad as Obama, and while that may be true, the way things are in DC now we are on a slide down to liberal control. If we have McCain the slide may be slower than if we have Obama, but is that what we want? We have been sliding down for years, and we conservatives sit back and say, well, it could be worse, and it is constantly getting worse. We don’t actively push for our values to be adhered to by those who claim to represent us. If we take a rapid slide downhill under the likes of Obama, maybe that will slap us in the face hard enough that we will be more resolute and forceful in making sure that the conservative principles that have made this country great in the past will continue to do so.

I really wish I could rally behind our Republican nominee, but McCain continues to ignore his base and pander to liberals and moderates.

I acnnot vote for mccain if he picks Huckabee. there is no grey are for me. It’s black or its white. Huckabee is just too vile for me to stomach for 4 years. Period. Sorry. I have to either write mitt in, not vote, vote 3rd party or join themidless and vote Obama and pray for a RNC controlled house and senate someday very soon.

Huck is wrong for me, and wrong for America.
