No! If I draw the line at McCain, how could I vote for Hillary or Obama?

Besides I am a registered Repub. in AL and will get a Republican ballot. I will write in Fred Thompson if McCain is it, and then vote for the rest of the Republican slate.

Jeff Sessions is running this time snd we need him in the Senate. He was a major mover in stopping the Amnesty bill.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I was for Reagan during Reagan Bush

I voted for Reagan twice...

But then I’m a conservativer and Romney is a RINO/liberal

[Matchett-PI]

bttt

[AGreatPer]

"If you understand politics, it's obvious that Romney is a liberal."

Sad to say we are down to picking the least of the evil. It sure beats the heck out of the alternative.

[thefactor]

and rudy deserves credit for absolutely screwing the cops he campaigned so forcefully to. why exactly do you think the cops union officially hates him and will never back him?

[LibLieSlayer]

Absolutely!

[SharpTalons]

Right. The media is already portraying him as the “unlikable Mormon.” If thats all they got, they’re in deep trouble.

[khnyny]

Aw shucks, I missed that one.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Can we start over? =\

Sadly, no.

Slapping down Russert would have been a Thompson moment ... (nostalgia goin’ on here)

[Eric Blair 2084]

Funny watching McCain try to sound like he knew what the question was asking, though he clearly did not. Of course, in his defense, I have no idea what Paul was talking about either.

The complex economic question was brilliant. Did Ron finally hire good advisors? The thinking was that McLiberal like most public serpents would be confused and have no idea what to say. He dodged the question like a professional politician very adeptly (heck, he really is a professional politician)...change the subject and talk about how you would hire professional financial people who know how to answer it without addressing the issue because you are clueless.

I’m through installing folks who go against my beliefs.

As Donovan Leitch sang in the 60's, "Must be the season of the Witch". Hows that gonna be for your non-voting installation beliefs?

[littlehouse36]

“What is the problem with Ron Paul right eyebrow?”

He’s phoning E.T.

[the808bass]

How would Matt Blunt be as a VP?

IMO, Matt Blunt did not decide to not seek a second term because he really thinks he "accomplished what he came to do." I think there's a scandal brewing and he's trying to get out ahead of the storm. I'm not sure anything else makes sense.

[LordBridey]

I think I heard that realization in his voice.

I think you are right. He did project a sense of futility.

[B Knotts]

That picture is just begging for Looter Guy.

[torchthemummy]

CNN just now says the NYT has endorsed McCain for repubs and Hillary for dems.

Is it just me or is this a new policy of endorsing candidates in both parties?
