So you have no trouble voting for the most liberal Democrat in the Senate but have trouble with Huckabee? That makes no sense, particularly in light of the possible cult of personality going with Obama. I really don’t want our own Juan and Evita Peron here in the USA.

Well, you've just made the best argument to get me to reconsider.

Now for strategy -- which race is potentially closer?

McCain has a 55%-27% lead in the polls here in Virginia. I'm not happy about that, but that's the facts. So my vote against McCain isn't a "tipping point", to use the in-vogue phrase.

Obama's got a big lead, too, but his leads have been seen to disappear. And that's my concern -- I want to stop the Clintons.

Those polls were probably taken before Huck’s wins in KS and LA. No way to stop McCain if his opponents don’t vote against him. VA is winner-take-all, but the percents matter also, in terms of the perception of voters in the coming states. Huck can force McCain to run to the right, especially on social issues, if Huck can stay in it, so that’s worthwhile as well.
