The best thing that happened to McCain is having Limbaugh declare that it will be the death of the Republican party. There are many people who sit a little right of center who don't care for the full bore anything is OK as long as a couple greedy reach guys profit from it system who find McCain attractive. And of the thinking voters I know (not the I only drink red or blue Koolaid people) they have said they would never consider voting for Hillary if she should get the nomination. Oh, but I agree. McCain; however, is a bit too far to the right on some very important issues than Obama and Clinton. Clinton or Obama will win just on health care alone. More and more people are getting scared that they will be cut off from employer-provided medical insurance. Even those with good employer-provided medical insurance are finding their co-pays going up and/or their employers requiring increased contributions from employees. Its the economy stupid and McCain loses big time in that area. I'm one of those right-of-center people who is disgusted by the actions of the right wing. I won't vote for McCain simply because he impressed me with his "agents of intolerance" rhetoric in the last round of primaries but this past year he has been cozying up to the religious right in a blatant attempt to get more votes. I think he's really still the old "agents of intolerance" guy inside but I have a hard time voting for someone with no convictions and/or without the spine to stand up and say what he really thinks. Yes, I know that excludes just about all politicians. I think you have a lot of company in your attitude. I also think the far religious right isn't as powerful within the Democratic party as they were when Bush ran for office four years ago. If they are still such a strong force, Huckabee would be doing a lot better in the primaries. McCain is a bad taste in the mouths of the religious right, but he's also too far right for most Democrats, so he won't get too many liberal votes this November. On the other hand, the Democratic candidate is likely to appeal to a lot more voters and have ****ed off far fewer people than the Republicans, so although I have no idea who the Democratic nominee will be, I feel virtually certain that whomever it is will be our next president. We will break history in November by electing either our first black president or our first female president, and that fact alone will spur more people to vote, and more to vote D. |
