I will vote anti-republican under any circumstances. Whoever has the best chance keeping a republican out of office gets my vote.

I voted for Obama in the primaries, but in the very unlikely event that he fails to be nominated, I will vote for McCain. I’ve always liked him, and although his recent pandering to the right-wing has been unseemly, I’m hoping he’ll move back to the middle when the conventions are over.

Unlike lot’s of Obamaphites, I believe he has a 50-50 shot of getting the nomination. If he loses, I vote for Hillary. Here’s why:

  1. Hillary’s and Obama’s stated policies are very close.
  2. If Obama loses, he will support the Democratic nominee.
  3. McCain the Maverick appears to have been replaced with McCain the Conservative kowtower.
  4. I don’t relish the possibility of yet another Republican nomination to the Supreme Court
  5. One of Bill Clinton’s greatest skills and accomplishments is his success with the economy. Wouldn’t mind having his influence in the White House given the recession.

That said, I still want Obama’s vision and pragmaticism in the Oval Office.
