I live in Ohio and am in a bit of a quandry. I do not care very much for McCain, but will probably hold my nose and vote for him in November if he chooses a true conservative as a running mate.
The fact that I hate Hillary and Obama is without question.
My quandry is this: McCain has the Republican nomination, so I'm thinking about voting for Hillary to help keep her in the race. From my perspective, keeping her in the race will severely damage the dimmocrap party for months to come.
It may also lead to Obama supporters staying home in November if she wins the dimmocrap nod.
The problem is, if she wins, I will not be able to sleep for four years.
And, if she wins, it has the potential to badly splinter their party.
There is much wisdom in that comment. Your vote is YOUR vote...why take a wild shot with it when you'll never know how it might ricochet?
Then again, the Republicans in Ohio could get a lot of credit for eliminating the possibility of any Clinton Comeback to the White House, and that is SO tempting it is probably what I would do if in your shoes. Plenty of time before November to work against Oba Ma Kenobe...
Use the Force, robomatik!
No, what you’re proposing is unethical. It undermines our Democracy and I wish people would cut this out. You should only vote for who you who want. Cast a vote to Huckabee to protest McCain and send a message.
I have several conservative republican relatives in Ohio
voting for Hitlery in the primary Tues.
Hitlery will be much easier to beat in Nov. than Obama.
Rush is also suggesting this .
No huge fan of McCain but he is far better than the Marxist dem running.
Don’t take the chance. Vote against H!.
I agonized over this same thing before the Wisconsin primary. It’s hard to tell. I know of people who voted for Clinton and others who voted for Obama because of who they thought would be weaker in November. They probably all canceled each other’s vote. In the end I decided on the Monday evening before the primary to vote for McCain.
This is a media creation. There will be NO split or ripping apart of the rat party.
If Mrs. Clinton is the nominee, she will be our President with the full support of her party and the media.
Back away from the spin.
H!, the Known Evil must be destroyed before anything else!
I see more and more Bad Press about Obama showing up, and curse people for leading recklessly with their pawns. First Things First: Get that b7tch out of the action and allow the game to unfold.
THEN start moving the pieces to checkmate the Charlatan.
Yes, they are both dangerous, but the latter has not had the experience at burying bodies and dirty tricks.
No. This is media and Rush driven spin.
If Mrs. Clinton wins the nomination, she is our next POTUS and CIC.
I hope we take her out now.
Yes!
maybe the best result is a draw for both hillary and obama. no clear winner...let’s do over.
I live in Ohio as well, and that is exactly what I’m doing on Tuesday. I want to see carnage on the floor in Denver this summer. Plus, she’s easier for McCain to beat.
I live in OH too, but I’m still voting for Fred. Plus that way I still can vote on the local primary stuff (many of which will be unopposed in Nov)
There WILL be a rippiing up of the rat party.
Obama will be easier to bring down in November. He’s a wet behind the ears putz.
No, all his kin back in Kenya are whispering in his ear and they’ll “know what to do”.
What the heck side of the coin are you arguing?
