No Party For Me
John McCain is acting heir apparant to the Republican nomination after his 36% win in Florida last night. Guiliani is all exiting today and is set to endorse McCain. It is thought that Guiliani was pulling more Independent minded voters, and thus, his supporters will flock to McCain with his blessing.
On the Dem side, Hillary won, but as no delegates are at stake for her, it was a hollow victory that amounts to little. Edwards, per Drudge, is exiting the race today as well. His support will undoubtedly go to whomever he feels has the better chance (finger in the wind). And since he can't honestly say which way the wind is blowing until after next Tuesday ... I imagine his endorsement will come on Wednesday, February 6th.
Loser. But he was always vying for another shot at the VP slot. So I'm not surprised at all.
But McCain puts me in an interesting position. I've spoke of him before, when his fans were abandoning him because of his immigration bill (how quickly we forget). And I've written other things in the past but that was at a previous blog.
McCain puts me in an interesting position because I. Can't. Stand. Him. The media loves him, mostly because he's as conservative a politician they can stand and they have to say, "look, we're not biased! We interview John McCain all the time!" Even the New York Times picked McCain.
If they picked him ... well I just can't think of a reason I should.
And as I said yesterday, McCain running against either Dem nominee just seems like ... too much of the same. They all practically agree on everything. It won't matter to me one bit which one gets in office. The only thing I can think, is McCain doesn't have a Universal Health Care package that he's trying to push through. So maybe that'll be enough for me to show up at a poll for him.
The other mitigating factor. Hillary. If Hillary gets the nomination, do I turn out and vote for McCain just to try and offset that horror? How many times can I vote based on the lesser of two evils?
