re: #261 Lidane
I’d argue that endorsing Obama over McCain/Palin in 2008 was a courageous act of self-preservation for any Republican. There’s endorsing your side and there’s endorsing a ticket with a nominee that had health questions and a thoroughly unqualified cipher as his VP.
I had conservative and/or Republican friends refuse to vote or just outright vote Obama because they couldn’t justify voting McCain/Palin.
I disagree. McCain was entirely competent for the role, and that was enough for me.
