#1 I'd have a hard time voting for McCain.

#2 "There's all sorts of time to worry about the 2008 election," he said.

If he is anything like his brother, who had the republican primary sewed up before primary season had even begun, that has got to rate right off the irony scale.

I suspect Jed is going to sit this one out, figuring that America has "Bush fatigue" after eight years.

The real finesse comes in for the 2012 elections, how he might position himself for best effect.

#3 I'll do you one better BH6, I won't vote for McCain. He lost me years ago. The GOP needs to have a better plan than to nominate a RINO, or I'll be gone for good.

#4 I voted for both Presidents Bush.

I do not think I would like to vote for another, no matter how capable he might be. It would feel too much like a dynesty going on.

Two Presidents Bush fine, but Tree's a crowd.

#5 A lot of people would echo Kelly. I'd be more worried about Jeb's kids than W's.

#6 Jersey, I personally don't like McCain either so I don't disagree about not voting for him but that all depends on who the competition is. I voted for W twice and before him Perot twice. (Looking back it was dumb not to vote for Dole who I know more about now - ahh, youth.) I have no problem voting third party if I have to. I'd vote Libertarian but they're usually weak on the border situation so I'll have to see what their candidate does this time around.

#7 I would vote for another Bush ong before I vote for a Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Biden, Reid, or Kennedy. If McCain gets the nod (and that is a BIG if) I would vote for him long before I Indy or Dhimi.

#8 Well for what its worth, I've been trolling around the Constitution Party site and forums. They are unfortunately beset by internal strife over abortion since a sizable part of their memebership seems to be fundies. But as far as the rest of the platform goes it really gets back to the basics, which I would love to see.
Have a look:

#10 Voting Indy is the same as voting for a Dem. FYI Bill Clinton NEVER got over 50% of the popular vote in either election. 3rd party poopers skim off just enough votes to give him the edge in key states.

#11 Exactamundo, Cyber Sarge.
