Dem side. Can't believe I am saying this, but right now, at this point in time, for me it is Hillary.
John McCain is not my present choice among the Repubs, but I could swallow that much easier than Guiliani.
Very interesting developments all around in this race. I know the polls don't show Ron Paul doing squat, but anyone who can raise $6 mill on the internet in 24 hours has someone interested.
It is becoming VERY interesting.

I will not vote for the lesser of two evils...
...partly because I honestly do not know which of the government-approved candidates is the lesser.
I figure [Obama} is to {McCain] as [shoot me in the head, I die right away] is to [stab me in the gut, I am in great pain for awhile, then I die].
I am voting 3rd party again this year. I can only hope that enough people will do the same, and whoever wins does so knowing he has no "mandate."
Ever heard the term lesser of all evils?
That is why Gibson was chosen. He has a reputation for being less biased than others. Still, he staged the interview to be intimidating, he had the glasses on the end of his nose condescending thing going, and the Bush Doctrine question was a huge trap. When she asked him for clarification he refused to do it and left her dangling. That was orchestrated. I have heard Democratic commentators say that was unfair; that if you ask sitting senators about the Bush doctrine you will get all kinds of answers.
There is a reason Obama has refused until last week to sit down with an interviewer who was not going to to pander to him, and he has been doing this for 18 months. He still refuses to to participate in town hall meetings where it is not scripted. There is a reason for that also.
I'm just voting for him because he is the lesser of the two evils who are running for presidency

No TRANCE here, many of us voted for McCain as the lesser of two evils.

Voting for the lesser of 2 evils is still voting for evil. sm
The 2 main choices are horrible. They only offer a continuation of the status quo. Nothing on bringing the troops home (now not 5 years from now), no sound monetary policy, reinstating our civil liberties, etc. Third party candidates have better platforms. People should be voting principles over party, or you deserve whatever you get.
I know a lot of people think that, about lesser
I feel like I'm still voting for evil, so I'd much rather put the vote somewhere else entirely or not vote at all. That was kinda my point, if more people voted honestly rather than defensively or for the lesser of 2 evils, maybe collecctively we could make a difference. Like I stated, it's not likely, I know.
It is, unfortunately, about picking the lesser of the 2
and since McCain has chosen Palin, I am starting to swing the other way. Like you with Obama, I do not trust her and do not share a lot of her values. And before someone calls me a baby murderer, I do not believe in abortion. It is many of her other issues, and I really don't want to get into an abortion debate.
I'm voting McCain partly because he is the lesser
of two evils. I am not voting for Obama because I am completely pro-choice and completely against gay marriages. I know people who have had abortions and I know who people who are gay. I hold nothing against them, but I can't with a good consicence vote for someone who believes these 2 major things are okay. I am by no means judging anybody for their choice of lifestyle. I personally just think it's wrong. Also, being of the pentecostal faith, I am happy that Sarah Palin (also of the pentecostal faith) was chosen as his running mate. I'm simply voting with my conscience.
