I understand, it is the boat we are all in.

But I find McCain supporters like yourself...interesting. Because you felt the exact same way when you voted for Arnold and now you deeply regret that choice. I wonder if you are not suffering from cognitive dissonance (I won’t cal it hypocrisy - I don’t think that is it).

How could you possible expect a different result for supporting a liberal RINO this time around?

Was Arnold right on anything?

Actually, I felt good about voting for Arnold. I honestly believed he would use his charisma to bring more people to our side. I believe elected Republicans do a horrible job explaining conservatism, and if we could just get someone to connect with people, we could lure a lot of voters from the Democrats.

Don’t misunderstand; I am not a McCain supporter. McCain is the only candidate of that sorry group we had, I swore I would never vote for. Had Hillary gotten the nomination, I would probably be inclined to stay home in November. I hate the thought of her earning the historical significance of being the first woman president, but I think she has an understanding of what is at risk in Iraq.

Obama is so unqualified he is scary. Like Bill Clinton, he is running for office to make something of himself, and like Clinton he will be a failure. Because of Clinton, the Chinese are much stronger, militarily. It is clear Obama thinks it is his duty to sell us out to our enemies, and I have no doubt he will. To listen to his speeches; he thinks he is running for president of the world.

I had hopes when I voted for Arnold; I don’t have any misperceptions about who McCain is. This election to me is like having to choose between getting hit in the head with a 95 mph fastball or an 85 mph fastball. If I have to choose I’ll take the one that will hurt least.
