No need to argue, but I am not voting for McCain and I stand by my comment that I am not abandoning anyone at all. - Nor is any other principled voter here.

We have survived 8 years under a clinton and a simple fact of election math is that what you and I do is not going to change the defeat that McCain is going to suffer in November.

The democrats have the Republicans outnumbered and outspent, the base is fractured over many issues, certain areas have trended blue, massive numbers of Latinos are voting, and if you, sir, are waiting on the so called “moderate” or “independent” voters to rush in and save McCain, then you may as well prepare very thoughtfully about supporting the downtickets and start preparing to say Madam President Clinton for the next 8 years.
look at the electoral math

McCain was the dream ticket for the Democrats.
Nobody could have aided their cause and their agenda better than the Manchurian candidate, the GOP has gone sharply left,and I will not support this. - but I understand your points.

Again, thank you for your postings and the opportunity to reply. - Bill

Perhaps we survied those 8 years. However, those 8 years were years where we were not engaged in the war that was being waged against us at the time. Now we are engaged in that war, and I do not wish to see defeat snatched from the jaws of victory by turning over the CinC to some dim moron who believes ending the fight before victory has been assured is the right course of action. Under the current world conditions we cannot survive even four years of such a Presidency.

As for the impending defeat of John McCain, I see that as counting chickens before they hatch. I'm prediction that the dim nominee will self-destruct and the people will not endorse them by the time of the general election.

Given the above, I do not understand your position, or that of people with like mind. There is just way too much at stake in this election to give it over to the dims. But, you'll do what ever you choose.
