I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for Fred, but when it comes time to vote here in Arizona on Feb. 4 (I think), I'll probably vote for Romney.

Some people need to take a broader view at what is at stake here. It goes way beyond conservatism. A Democrat President will absolutely appoint liberal judges to the Supreme Court. The consequences of that will last for decades, and it won't just all be about abortion. Did you like the decision that weakened our property rights? There's a lot more of that to come with a liberal Supreme Court. How about giving rights to Guantanamo inmates? There are a lot of liberal lawyers just itching to make that happen. I could go on and on about the damage a Democrat President will do to the Supreme Court. I'm not willing to let that happen if I can help it.

A Democrat President will absolutely weaken the military, showing our enemies that, once again, we're easy targets. Next time they might attack my city. Again, I'm not willing to let that happen. Our enemies around the world will be delighted with a Democrat President. Can't you just picture Hugo Chavez giving Hillary or Obama a big hug with a smile on his fat face? I can.

So much more is at stake than the health of conservatism. All I have to fight back with is my vote, and I won't vote by default for a Democrat by staying at home.
