“By the way, are you willing to state publicly and unequivocally on this forum that you are voting for McCain/Palin instead of for Obama/Biden in this presidential election?”
Yup. I DON’T vote for democrats (and refuse to even capitalize that word).
By the way, I would have cheerfully voted for Rudy, too. And for Thompson (my first choice), Huckabee, Romney, Hunter, etc. The only exception might have been Ron Paul. But I still would have voted “R” for the rest of the local ticket.
Now it’s time for YOU to respond my FRiend...
Did you support McCain before the nomination? Or were you one of those here (of whom there were MANY) who said they would NEVER vote for him?
Would you have supported Rudy had he been the nominee?
Cheers back to you!

I'm too busy at work (have to go back for another hour or two yet tonight!) to do the looking through your own history; and you are more familiar with it anyway.
I was a confirmed FREDhead. And I thought that he lost in the polls when the shills and whores at Politico started insinuating before *each* primary that "If he doesn't ace this one, he's dropping out. He's sinking anyway."
Note that Jonathan Martin ("covers" the GOP my ass; stabs in the back is more like it) has #2 on the favorite list of sites as Daily KOS. WTF?
I would not have voted for Rudy "Epic Fail" Guiliani in the general; I was wavering on holding my nose for McCain or sitting out, until Palin was nominated.
Evidence of my enthusiasm for PALIN over McCain is found here,here, and here. Note the posting dates.
As it is, I think McCain can still win: and if we can persuade other GOPers, he may win by over 300 EV. The polls are cooked for Obama in a way I have never seen before, including one a couple of weeks ago which had West Virginia as "leans Obama" with 55% Dems and 35% GOP representation - in which Obama only had an 8-point lead despite the 20-point head start.
It would help your credibility if you would start posting the internals of the polls : e.g. overweighting of minorities and women; overweighting of democrats; overweighting of young voters; analysis of landlines vs. cell phones; and comparing predictions of Dems and pollsters regarding early voting to the trends actually observed (e.g. Dems up by 1000 votes in CA early voting despite predictions of a grass roots tidal wave of early voting).
And if you were able to acknowledge the Operation Chaos and PUMA contibutions -- e.g. the former editor of Ms. Magazine publicly writing an article comparing Palin's brains to famous Democrats of the past...
Cheers!
