“What happens if she decides not to run?”

If she decides not to run, for me, it depends on who DOES decide to run.
Right now – except for Sarah, I see our bullpen as being completely empty.
I swallowed my disgust and pulled the lever for McCain a year ago. I’m not going to pull the lever for another useless, loser RINO again. EVER – and that includes EVERY ONE of those pathetic losers who were in the primaries last time around.

I can sympathize with your feelings. I’ve voted in 8 presidential elections and it is ALWAYS a compromise and frequently a defensive vote. Nobody is ever going to agree 100% with me so of course I take the lesser of two evils. At some point though I realized that I’m not going to dig my heals in and say never, ever, ever because that’s more about pleasing me rather than making any kind of difference.

What I suggest may happen is a third party candidate (propped up with stealth Democrat money) and as a result another win for Obama. If a conservative candidate who doesn’t scare the pants off independents can get the GOP nomination then great but I’m not going to toss my vote away on a third party candidate just to feel good about myself. The cost of of 4 more years of Bambi I think is more than the benefit of sticking it to those “country club Republicans”.

At the moment, I agree with you. In the Presidential elections, I haven't voted "for" anyone since Reagan. All my other votes were lesser evil votes to keep the demonrat candidate out of the WH. McCain was my worst vote yet and I actually tried to convince others to vote McCain to keep obama out. What did I get for compromising my values?

Not only did obama win, but McCain continues to make me regret my voting for him. Most of the time, I don't think a President McCain would be much different than obama, though he would have killed the rino party once and for all.

What's that they say about insanity and doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result? No more voting for rinos.

You and me both. I voted for McCain only because of Palin. As much as I admire Mrs. Palin, I will never vote for a RINO, or split RINO/Conservative ticket again.

I WILL vote for Mrs. Palin, or anyone I am convinced is a real conservative as long as there is no RINO presence on that ticket.
