I'm seriously thinking about just falling in

and supporting John McCain. You know, write a check, lawn sign with boobytraps, the whole nine yards. No, I don't like McCain, I just can't stand the thought of Obama being President. Plus my neighbors are asking where my sign is . . .

Sir, I find myself in the same boat. John McCain appears to be the best available candidate.

If you feel the need to join your neighbors in their yard clutter efforts..

Why not a Bob Barr poster??

It will certainly invite comment,, "Who in hell is Bob Barr"

You may be surprised to find a couple hidden Conservative Libertarians in your mist??

I still have my Pat Paulson sign,, it's getting a little tattered,, but get's the point across.. Pat may not be a conservative,, but he's funny and there is little likelihood he would do any damage to the ecomimy..

A vote for Barr or any other 3rd party person is worth two votes for BHO.

You could put up a "Well, I guess If I have to, Mac in 08" sign.

Make your fight in the primary. Then in the general election vote for the best person that has a chance of getting in the White House.

You are dating yourself, Mr. OLD SCHOOL.

I can't let perfect be the enemy of good. There is a whole lot I dislike about McCain but I dislike Obama even more. I cannot allow myself the luxury of sitting out this election season even though it won't matter in my home state. Yet another election where I'll have to hold my nose and vote. I can't stand it any longer. I just missed being able to vote for the Gipper. Since then we have had nothing but "lite" Republicans. I'd give my right arm for a chance to vote for a true small government conservative. Sadly they are as common place as hens teeth.

I think I'm going to need to get a sign just because the number of Obama signs and bumper stickers going up in the neighborhood is frightening. (Ok, there's one sign and one bumper sticker, but in this very military and conservative neighborhood that's not good.) Interestingly no one else has a sign or a bumper sticker up in my neighborhood - and I'm thinking it's because they all have the same dilemma. I know my next door neighbor and I have already been discussing it as we've sat and stared at the Obama sign a few doors down.

The deer, bear, moose, fox, bobcat and lesser critters cannot read and the only "signs" on my turf are left by forest critters. For the most part, any critter leavings can easily be removed by wading through the brook. Unfortunately I am convinced that the mess created by any of the other three will by stuck underfoot for four or more years and I am afraid that there is not enough oil of wintergreen to dump in that halved 55 gallon barrel to disquise the impending stench.

This is definately an election where there is no clear pic, and every vote is going to count...

And Bob Barr's running isn't going to help McCain out at all..... as someone else stated, every vote for him will have a 2 vote turnaround for Obama. Kinda like a turnover in basketball.

I wish he woulda stayed out of it.

As long as you can find a stick to scrape the "politico" out of the lugs on your boot sole I'm sure the smell will diminish during an overland movement......

I will be holding my nose here come November too...

Then pray that Nader is able to get on the ballot in most states to even the playing field a bit. "We" owe him one for helping keep Gore out of the White House in 2000 - even though that guy would have been President if he had just carried his home state - where his family name used to be "golden".

As an Arizonan, I have to hope McCain wins - otherwise it'll be a century or more before some Arizona kid ever has a chance of being allowed to run for President again. Besides, I am dating a woman named McCain, and maybe it'll get us better tables in restaurants here in Phoenix.

Ever hear of a guy named Barry Goldwater?

Au H20 in '64! Yes, I have! But if McCain loses, this small state will be 0-2 in the Presidential Elections and it will in all likelihood be a long time before some other person gets a chance. Arizona will be the state where moms DON'T tell their kids that they can grow up to be president!
