I certainly was against McCaint all the way along - and I think you forget rabscuttle385 and pissant (with their fellows) too quickly. There was always dissent against McCain. Loud and sustained. It's just that the Republican fanbois were too wrapped up in themselves to see the truth of it.

I was vehemently against McCain as well, but finally, after he was the nominee and Sarah was his pick for VP, decided to vote for him. I bitterly regretted it when he virtually conceded the fight after the financial meltdown that took place shortly before the election.
I vowed never to do that again. Now, I see that we have two candidates who are almost indistinguishable. I don't trust Romney, not after his performance here in Massachusetts. I don't believe that he is a man of integrity, that his word can be trusted, that he is conservative, or that he cares about the citizens of this country. My vote may mean nothing in this liberal state, but it is of great importance to me. It matters to me that I do the right thing. The man who gave us Romneycare, upon which Obamacare was modeled, is no friend of mine.
I admit I held my nose and voted for McCain (mostly because of Palin), but no more. This was our election to lose and the GOP-e vomits up Romney. It is the last straw, I’m tired of being used by my own party.
