Who for President?

The Republican Party has selected John McCain as their Presidential Candidate, Huckabee's not dropping out of the race at this point is amusing. He can not obtain enough delegates to be nominated. Ron Paul was never a serious candidate to begin with.

The Democrats Still have two potential nominees remaining; Clinton & Obama. I predict Obama will be the winner as the Democrat party's nominee. No matter which candidate is successful; I really do not think either would be a good president if they remain true to the core beliefs they have stated.

Having said the above I think conservatives really have no choice other than John McCain. I'm not impressed by him but; I believe he will be closer to conservative Ideals than either Democrat Presidential Candidate. J. McCain professes belief in the core Republican Platforms. This alone places him ahead of the other two, who claim the socialist position on every issue discussed.

In the end every one needs to vote their conscience, I can only hope it's for conservatism.

I've been convinced; vote for Mitt.

I have rather conservative views on most things especially; government size, fiscal responsibilities, & a strong belief we Americans need to be more self reliant in all things. That being said several fellow bloggers have convinced me that conservatives need to support some one other than allowing the democrats the 08 presidential election by default.Most convincing have been; Patrick Conlon & Lemuel Calhoon in their post & follow up comments to me.

All though far from perfect if one reviews their overall performances " Mitt Romney & John Mc Cain" Romney is less of a risk based on their records than McCain. My reasoning is as follows.

John McCain has consistantly behaved more in the LiberalDemocrat party mold than any Republican party's conservative position. I will not comment more beyond the Amnesty bill, Finegold McCain bill, the Bush tax cut (He did not support for the wrong reasons). If you need more data look up his record, you might be suprised by what you read.

Mitt Romney is much more liberal in his professed views than I prefer, I think he is somewhat more liberal than President Bush, & I think we all know what a disasterous mixed effort he has put forth. Mitt does have some favorable elements going for him. He has a proven record as a good businessman, He has an acceptable record as governor of Mass. a very liberal state, He does appear soft on most social issues (no body's perfect) but overall better than McCain.

I there for encourage any one reading this post; Vote for Mitt as I have been convinced to.
