Everyone does what they think is right and best for our country. When Clinton got in, I was thinking God (who ordains all leaders) allowed him to win for a reason. Maybe judging our country for the direction in which it was going?

Maybe that is happening again.

I did vote for Bush four times.

The 2008 race is hard to handicap. I try to compare it to 2000 race GW Bush v. Gore. McCain is less appealing and Obama is more appealing—but he is also far to the left of Gore. He also has various scandals around him.

I compare it to 1988—Again, Obama is far to the left of Dukakis.

I compare it to 1976—He is like Jimmy Carter, with far less experience and far more corruption. Even though Pres. Ford was pro-abort, I might have supported him over McCain. I actually liked President Ford. I thought he was a competent administrator. Of course, I was only 20, so what did I know?

Where else can we compare? 1952, war hero Eisenhower against intellectual Adlai Stevenson?

In 3/4 cases the republican won. I predict a close victory for McCain.
