Well, . . . Obama getting elected might push the republicans to get their act together. I highly doubt he can get elected though. There is just to much to overcome and the seniors like McCain.

True. In a sense, if the Republicans get elected they will continue down the path they're currently on. Loosing the Presidency could serve to help the Republicans make the changes they need to be respectable again.

True. Merely being the first black Presidential candidate brings race to the table. It's just life.

DT ... most liberal? Anymore liberal than Clinton was?

Surely we became socialists in the 90's

Give me a break. Let's have a serious discussion.

He's a Senator like McCain ... hello.

I haven't decided who I will vote for yet! I've been a republican for 35 years, in fact I was the VP of the Young Republicans of our county back in the day.

I'm trying to get excited about McCain, but I can't so far!

i agree pm , i feel as if he was rammed down our throats, i believe he could be a good president if he can ever make up his mind what he stands for, that is scary, dt

I don't think many people can get excited about McCain but the alternative is disasterous for our country, our kids, and our grand kids.

I have never been one of those to whine about voting for the "lesser of evils". I have been enthusiastic about every Republican canidate except Bob Dole and now McCain.

However there is too much at stake with federal judicial appointments and the fact that the dems are going to pick up huge gains in the House and Senate this fall.

Even if McCain is a moderate Democrat vs. a liberal one that is better than the liberal one and someone is going to have to keep the huge new Democrat majority in both houses of Congress in check.
