Well, I think partly. These elections are more about "winning for the team" than they are about what people truly believe. I think a majority of people are decided even before hearing who's running. @Thrifty Karen: Unfortunately it looks like you’re right. Well, I think partly.

McCain isn't at the top of my list, but you can be sure I'm not even considering Obama. I have a hard time understanding why someone would vote for him. Living in the south sometimes I hear people say they're voting for him because he's black. My goodness! Could they think of a more racist thing to say? But then there are some that would vote for Hillary just because she's a woman. I guess we haven't gotten past those issues.

I DID think that was a CURAZEEE thing for McCain to say - and wow, the conservatives are hoppin' over the mention of Andrew Cuomo. Sheesh. No wonder! So, no...I'm not so sure that I'd want McCain in; but I'm doubly sure I don't want Obama at the top!

Better choice, however, goes back into the question of the quality of "electability" in my book. If electability is high on the list, then you have to choose the best fit of the two most likely candidates. For those of us in states where it's pretty well determined who will win, "electability" may be a lesser issue. Agree? @Rachel: It does sound much like that discussion, eh?

Agree?

We might be wary of McCain who may or may not elect a moderate judge to replace a retiring liberal, or we can elect Obama who we can say with certainty will replace any judge, moderate or conservative, with a liberal judge. Is there a better choice than McCain? For me personally, I don't think there is. There isn't another candidate with enough pull that I could vote for that would defeat Obama. And I do NOT want Obama in office. But I do agree with you about big government. Are we getting the lesser of 2 evils discussion again? :) Rachels last blog post..<a href="http://afuturepastorswife.blogspot.com/2008/09/tonys-aint-got-nothin-on-me.html">The Tony's Ain't Got Nothin' on Me!</a> I look at it this way, Min.
