you know, for completeness sake
why McCain? other than the fact that he's not a Democrat, and not Obama

Because Bush can't run again.
Real Name: Mark
He's the "not Obama" candidate. He's not a complete leftist.
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
Because I believe what he says when he says something.
Because he is a veteran.
Because I agree with what he says most of the time.
Because there will never be a dull press conference or presidential address during his entire term and his teleprompter will never be necessary
Because I don't feel like I know enough about Obama's values to vote for him.
Because after W, I feel like experience is very important to run for president.
Because I don't agree with Obama's ideas of universal healthcare and liberal voting record during a brief time in the Senate.
Because even though I wouldn't vote for Bush again if I could, I don't think McCain is Bush.
Because I resent how Democrats are portraying McCain as a sequel to Bush, when they tried their best to avoid the same tag on Gore compared to Clinton.
Because deep down, I wish that we had different nominees to choose from, but will choose the candidate I disagree with less and the one I am more familiar with.
Because an inexperienced commie should be a back-up goalie.

I've been asking this same question since 2000.Originally Posted by yermom
For me, there is no "other than the fact". That's my reason. I've voted Libertarian in the last two elections and I believe this will be my first vote on the Republican ticket.
I'm doing the complete opposite of that. I have always voted Republican and will now vote Libertarian.
What he says now or what he was saying in 2000? Because those are two completely different things in most cases.
I'm not happy until you're not happy.
I'm no McCain fan, but I'll vote for him over Obama for one reason, and one reason only--the war on radical Islamofascism. McCain will continue to prosecute it, and I don't trust Obama to do it.
Who was it that said "I'de rather have a third-rate fireman than a first-rate arsonist"? Tough to argue with that, Sic-Em!

Honestly,
1) Because he is a moderate who tips right. Like me, and most of the people I know and care about. I don't like extremists either L or R.
2) He has extensive military experience in which he had considerable responsiblilty. Command of a carrier air wing is a very big deal.
3) He kept faith with his comrades and this country under unspeakably horrible conditions in Hanoi.

"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
He's a pimp.
Obviously because Rambo's not running.
For the record, I can still change my vote, but if the election were today, that's how I would vote and why I would vote that way.
People's minds can change in eight years. In 2000, I was mostly a Badger fan, but today, I am mostly a Sooner fan... but pray everyday that the two teams never meet up.
I would attribute changing the message to changing opinions. I know it is a thin line, like the difference between "lying" and "not telling the truth," but there is still a difference.

End of an error!
What can I say to convince you to vote for Barr? Whatever it is can we assume that I already said it and you've already agreed to vote for him?For the record, I can still change my vote, but if the election were today, that's how I would vote and why I would vote that way.

I guess it's just a coincidence that all of McCain's new positions happen to align with the Republican base. I would have voted for McCain 2000 (minus the rageaholic factor), but not McCain 2008. It's possible that McCain 2008 is an election ploy and McCain 2000 is still the real McCain, but that's just another reason to not vote for him.
I'm not happy until you're not happy.
If you don't like McCain's position on the issues, just wait a while and he'll flip flop for you.
Vote Bob Barr - The Other Black Candidate
He's going to be on the ballot in Oklahoma? Vote for him, vote for McCain, vote for Obama, vote for Ralph Nader. Doesn't matter in this state.
I'm not happy until you're not happy.
