It would be a wasted gesture anyway (what does the VP really do, other than get a vote in the Senate?) and I think would buy him more bad will than good. <BR/><BR/>My conservative DH is really leaning towards Obama, so I tend to agree with you about him beating McCain easier than Clinton. If Obama can sway my life-long Republican husband, well, what can't he do? I still think he isn't qualified enough for the job, though, which is why I'm voting Clinton. (Unless something major hapens- we still have a good while until November!)<BR/><BR/>Glad you aren't upset I got all politicy on your blog. ;) I enjoy reading it, and while we are political polar opposites, we both home school and I enjoy reading home school blogs a great deal! I am also drawn to your posts about life with foster children- that is something I would love to do. DH isn't on board with that, and I am always soliciting prayers for his heart to change on that subject!camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839859577077583686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13603472.post-73487671568730344402008-02-07T22:40:00.000-07:002008-02-07T22:40:00.000-07:00You know, I'll actually be very surprised if the R...You know, I'll actually be very surprised if the Republicans win it this time around. I've already decided that I won't vote for McCain unless he picks a VP who is almost the opposite of himself. However, if it ends up being between McCain and Hillary, I think McCain's odds of winning increase based on the anti-Hillary vote. Obama just isn't as hated as she is, so I think he could easily beat McCain since McCain cannot rally the conservative base of his party.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18118452795959758596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13603472.post-49682361616936759492008-02-07T19:46:00.000-07:002008-02-07T19:46:00.000-07:00Gutless-?

Yes, Senator McCain, former POW, is certainly "gutless".Nothing wrong with disagreeing with his politics, but "gutless"...puh-leeze.<BR/><BR/>Besides- you have nothing to worry about! McCain may get the Republican nomination, but he won't be president. That's going to my girl, Hillary. <BR/><BR/>(I just couldn't resist, Jess, I just COULDN'T!!!!)camihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839859577077583686noreply@blogger.com
