As "Liberal" as some might think McCain is and if one wants a conservative President...is there really any other choice that will make it to the office? It's sad that we might have to vote for someone just because other third party candidates have no hope of winning anyways, but there is one big issue I see here that historically has often had a balance.

What tends to balance things out is when one party rules congress or the senate having an opposite president could balance it out.

Having differing viewpoints might make for a lot of disagreements but at least it presents an opposing voice to test whether or not what the other side wants is good for us. Without opposition we might as well have a dictator.

Witha strong democrat representation in congress and the house I think America needs a Republican president no matter how "un conservative" he might be in some minds.

It might be a bitter pill to swallow but it might also be the lessor of two evils and in this case a non-vote for McCain is just as much a lessor of two evils as a vote is for a Democrat if you are a Conservtive.

McCain is a 1,000 times more conservative on his most liberal day than Obama is on his most conservative day.
