I am to the point where I will support with sweat and money the most conservative candidate in the primary and whoever is the winner will have my vote over Obama.
He cannot be allowed a second term.
Kristol is correct, of course.
Mega dittos.
“whoever is the winner will have my vote over Obama.”
My exclusion category is the same as before: if Giuliani runs, he will not get my vote even if he somehow does win the primaries. And possibly Newt, for most of the same reasons.
Pretty much anybody else, even the Flipper, would get some consideration if it came right down to the wire vs. Obama. It’s all but guaranteed (since dems are defending so many seats, and so many weak ones) that we’ll gain control of the senate and have both houses. A repeal of Obamacare is inevitable - and it’d be easier without Obama in the White House to veto the bill.
A second term, where he had nothing to lose, could get really ugly.
