Well, tomorrow is Super Tuesday. Does your state vote?



I know I listen to entirely too much talk radio. I listen to Michael Medved. He is convinced that the only Republican who can beat (especially) O Bama is McCain. I don't want McCain. For one thing, I think his temper alone is a big, big problem. The Bible is full of warnings about a man with a bad temper. I'm afraid of him bursting a gasket in a debate (especially with Obama since he's seen as a 'nice guy') and blowing the whole thing. I give the standard qualifiers as everyone who ever says they don't want McCain have to give: He'sagreatwarhero,Irepspecthisservice,IfheisthenomineeIwillvoteforhiminthegeneralelection.

But I won't be excited about it.

Among the other reasons I'm not excited about McCain is the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform, the fact that he voted against George Bush's tax cuts, his opposition to drilling in ANWR, and he buys into the whole 'man-caused-global-warming' idea. He appeals to the centerists, but I doubt he will motivate the Republican base much. Unless he runs against Hilary, then I think everyone will be motivated no matter who the Republican nominee is.. But Obama..

I guess I'm pretty much left with Romney.

But mostly I'm feeling sick to my stomach...

But I'm keeping my Huckabee magnet on my fridge. Cause it makes me smile. :)

I don't know. No one thrills me. We don't have a primary till April.

Who doesn't buy into the man-made global warming? Is there anyone running?

I'd take McCain over any democrat; wait, I'd take any republican over any democrat. And if you'd asked me 10 years ago if I'd ever say/type those words, I would have said you were crazy.

I haven't really followed things too closely, but am not too excited about the choices we have either. I can tell you one thing...John McCain has spent a lot of money this week making phone calls! We have had about 6 messages left on our message from both him and his wife. We only had one call from Romney. Sort of annoying if you ask me.
