I know having McCain be President will suck, which is why I opposed him in the primaries. But I also know he is actually qualified for the job and his opponents aren't qualified to be dogcatchers. I have friends who will serve in combat under the next president, and so I have little use for your pocketa-pocketa-pocketa.

That's my position as well. I would like nothing better than to have Fred as our nominee, but he didn't receive enough votes, and then chose to drop out. As much as I detest McCain, I see the alternative as being worse. Possibly much, much worse.
With much regret, I plan to vote for McCain.
Of course Hillary and Obama are terrible, but McCain will be just a little slower in paving the highway to disaster. I believe that no matter who wins, the people and the Congress are going to have to rise up unlike anything we have seen before in order to stop the idiocy. Presidents are not gods and they can be dealt with in a political fashion. We the people can handle these clowns and begin the process of taking the country back.
I am not interested in watching as the United States sinks further into the abyss. I want my country, my freedom, my Constitution, and my government back. And I mean government 1791 style plus a few Amendments. In achieving what I want McCain is of no more value than Obama or the beast, so let them all rot.
This election sucks because there is a good chance that one of the three people running will be President. McCain's military favorable positions make him qualified to be a supporter of the military, but beyond that? I guess we'll find out, be sure has disappointed many of us as a Senator. Makes me wonder what being qualified actually means in 2008.
Let's say there are ten most important issues the next president needs to address. What his supporters are saying is that the other two potentials get all 10 wrong but McCain gets one thing right, but nine things wrong, so he's qualified. As logic goes, that's pretty thin.
