You have no idea what elections are for. I suggest getting a lesson in civics.

Elections are there for voters to vote for a candidate that most closely matches the ideals, policies, and values of that voter. End of story.

Which rulebook in the constitution tells us that this has to be the case ?

If by "most closely matches", you mean which of the two most likely to win more closely matches a conservatives' ideals and policies, then I'd say McCain meets the criteria.

It may not be 100%, but heck, it meets the "more closely matches" criteria. It's better than close to zero and taking a chance on the destruction of your country for the next 4 years.

The constitution details how and when to hold elections, it does not say why one must vote for one candidate or the other.

However, if you believe that voting is a matter of selecting a candidate that represents only a select few of your beliefs... when other candidates represent your views more closely.

Then you really should learn more about our form of government and what our founding fathers stood for.

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue, but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine, "The Rights of Man", 1792

(You would have us moderate our principals for the sake of a Republican victory?)
