I am an Obama supporter, and I liked McCain more than any other Republican.

Anybody else go 2/2?

Maybe the 2000 McCain.

same here. I can't say I liked any of the Republican candidates. Huckabee seemed like a decent guy but his policy ideas were not good at all.

Mitt is a gameshow host/televangelist/car salesman look-a-like

Fred Thompson has about as much energy as a corpse

Rudy is a dufus

McCain used to be decent but he's gone crazy in his old age

I guess Ron Paul was my favorite of the Republicans, just because he wants to get out of Iraq.

Of the viable candidates, they certainly represent the lesser of the various evils. And no, that's not a ringing endorsement.

well, BO wasn't my first choice either, but my hope is that he'll make appointments based on abilities, rather than an Ideology, or buddy-system/pay-off...we'll see--the stakes are high indeed, and talk is cheap. I'll be glad when the platitudes are done and the work begun.

Exactly my feelings. The Republican field was just deplorable. I finally lined up behind McCain just before Iowa, but it was just to avoid all the alternatives. Obama is great candidate, but I don't like his liberal policies and I don't favor all his spending proposals. Still haven't decided who I'll vote for in November.

When it gets down to brass tacks, he's a pragmatic mother****er.

agreed, but you also know what that implies--that he'll have to find a key spot for "cankles". :shake:

Maybe the 2000 McCain.I agree with this. McCain was easily my favorite in 2000. Now, he seems much more like a panderer. That being said, he may still get my vote.

I'd be surprised of any conservative that is excited about either choice.

I voted for McCain twice and Obama once.

I'm happy with our countries choices for the first time in a very long time.

The same thing happens to me every single time there is an election. I get too choose from the same old tired group of candidates that have been ****ing things up for a bare minimum of the last 50 years.

It's not even remotely entertaining anymore to watch the sheep line up in the slaughter line when it comes time to pick candidates. I figure at some point people will get tired of footing the bill in labor, and dollars for the rich to continue getting richer and do something in the polls that will shock the world.

Until then, I'm doing everything I can to own slaves rather than be one. Those are really the only two choices, regardless of what you choose to believe.

Agreed. Really depends on his VP choice.

Biden and Guiliani, so . . . um, . . . not by a long shot.

So unless McCain does something to inspire, or Obama finds a way to convince me he's not going to be a straight up socialist, I have little or nothing invested in this election.

I agree. It's gotten to the point where I wonder if the guys who picked their people in smoke-filled rooms at the conventions didn't do a better job.

I'm a fan of Bob Barr (although I doubt that he'll get my vote) so I'm 1 for 3.

One thing I think MOST (never all, but most) of us can agree on - our choices are far better this time than they were last time.

I was originally a Biden supporter, though when he didn't get enough people in our caucus to win a delegate I went over to Obama.

On the Republican side I was hoping that Mitt Romney was going to win. After supporting Dubyah twice, Karma should have guided that a say anything opportunist like Romney who had no personal opinons other than what the polls say, Republicans should have nominated this guy.

Barack Obama is my favorite on the Dem side even though I thought Hillary would win.

Pre 9/11 McCain was a lot better in my eyes than the current fella who is still stubborn about Vietnam and views the US role is to throw money and men down the drain in perpetual folly with no stated daily, weekly, monthly and final objectives.

Huckabee was intelligent, personable and easy on the ears, except when he went off the deep end to proclaim a pentecostal jihad on the constitution. The other GOP contenders had one decent overly-Hawkish congressman, Hunter, and the rest were really quite clownish.

If the comedy writers were not on strike there would now be the greatest catalog of political humor based on those guys.

Just curious Troy who would you have liked to see run and win? I am pretty sure you did not support Ron Paul like some of us nutjobs.
