I agree with everything you said but after McCain’s latest smack-down of conservatives (the North Carolina ad) I will not just “hold my nose” and vote for him. Maybe something will change between now and November but right now I plan to stay home for the first time in my voting life. A candidate has to earn my vote and my respect but as of now McCain has done neither. I’m fed up with him and the RNC...

A vote is not an oath of loyalty or fidelity. Think about that. It is a pragmatic choice. If a vote is being taken to remove my leg or my head, I am not going to sit it out.

We have already failed and been handed the lemon. Now we must try to make lemonaide as best we can.

"Now we must make lemonade as best we can"

In order to make lemonade that's fit to drink you need to add sweetener. Where is that sweetener going to come from to make the lemon (McCain)palatable? His choice for VP? We will see...
