I will not vote for McCain, not even against Hillary.
Whoever wins will enact horrible, horrible policies. But if a Democratic president is pushing them, there is at least a small chance that conservatives in the Senate can fillibuster.
The 2008 election is lost, no matter who wins. When we are preparing to “clean up the mess” as one poster put it, we’ll be much more likely to win 2012 or 2016 if we can point to the Democrats and say “See, that’s what happens when Liberals are in the white house”.
And you can’t convince me that a Gang of 14 member is going to appoint strict constitutionalist judges either.
I just want to add that it *is* important to vote. There are conservative candidates for the senate, the house, and state/local offices who need and deserve our support. So “Stay Home” is not good.
