I voted for McCain, for just the reason you said- it was a choice of him or the Marxist.

Unfortunately, Free Republic doesn't even constitute one percent of the voting public. The election wasn't decided here.

The election was decided the day that McCain took up for poor little Barry when people were being mean to him and said "He'd make a fine President".

That's the day that enough of the masses said "okay, I'll vote for him".

Face it, McCain was and still is a loser, nominated by an out-of-touch, arrogant, politically indebted party leadership. He ran a horrible campaign, hiring pretenders like Carly Fiorina to run it, and when he did something right, (choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate), he did three things wrong to follow. (Allowing political operatives to slime her and set her up even BEFORE election day.)

I'd say that McCain wasn't my candidate in the primary but the simple truth was I couldn't stand any of them. I was leaning towards Mitt at the end but he really wasn't any better than McCain and I might have flipped back.

Rush was right when he described McCain (and the GOP establishment) as Washingtonians.

BTTT. Can’t be said enough.
