Mark is right. If you don't vote for Mitt, it is effectively a vote for McCain's nomination. You can spin it and deny it anyway you like. But those are the facts.

This is not some game. This is the future of our country we are talking about. The choosing of those next SCOTUS judges being key. I have no doubt that the holier-than-thou purists can look in the mirror and thank themselves when Hill & Bill are sitting in our Oval Office again selecting the next Ginsburg (or McCain choosing the next O'Connor if he can squeak out a win by some miracle).

Those who cannot see the difference between Mitt and McCain, do so at our country's peril. McCain agrees with them (Hillary & Obama) NOT US (and Mitt) on global warming, immigration, amnesty, marriage amendment, embryonic stem cell research funding, lawyer lobbyists, big government, terrorists' rights, social security for illegals, Gitmo, waterboarding, judges etc.

Nope. Not effectively, not a fact.

Neither one of those pathetic liberals was ever getting my vote.

Who would that be? I can see the difference, just as I can see the difference between hemlock and cyanide.

...do so at our country's peril.

Either way lies our country's peril.

That is exactly the major issue here. And remember, a vote for McCain (including all votes for Huckabee) is a vote for Obama/Clinton, and thus, as you note, 30+ years of a leftward leaning Supreme Court.

Republicans who vote for McCain are trying to be cute, like the Democrats were four years ago by voting for the "pragmatic" candidate, Vietnam vet John Kerry. This will turn out to be precisely as clever a gambit as nominating Kerry was, the brilliance of which was revealed on Election Day 2004.

Here Here! Thank You!

I'm all in for Mitt. I cannot abide John McCain as the nominee or as President.

I was for Hunter... I was for Fred... they're gone and the only viable candidate left is Mitt Romney. I do not believe the differences between Obama / Clinton / McCain Admins would be discernible.
