Plasma TVs are fast growing in popularity as the myths around their short life span gradually dissipate, more and more people are now enjoying the fruits of this latest technology....

I agree completely with Pat Buchanan on this. McCain embodies the worst of George Bush's policies (perpetual neocon war, amnesty for illegals, and free trade globalism). The policies that are bankrupting this nation.

Here's hoping they vote for Romney.

The final irony will be on Nov. 2 2008, when the Republican base, by and large, writes off Sen. McCain. He will become President, or not, based upon votes from Democrats. If it is Hillary, he will win, if Obama, he'll be crushed.

If nominated, I'll be sitting on the sidelines. McCain has thrown too many thumbs in my eye while in the scrum for me to expect he will actually fight for my team.

Hillary, or Barak, is worse...

Probably, but I've no energy to fight for a candidate that hates me so.

McCain should have been written off long ago, but the coastal elites, quasi-right, are far too concerned with winning elections rather than winning wars (of ideas). A smaller and less intrusive government is all I ask for. McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Liebermann does not cut it. McCain's animus towards his own party seals the deal.

Hail President Clinton!

I surmise that none of them are.

So in essence I am "throwing" away my vote for the lesser of 3 evils? lol

(psssssttttt.... there is no such thing)

By average I mean those who consider themselves conservative but aren't necessarily political junkies or well known conservatives in the media or entertainment-but even then I imagine many of the political junkies would still vote for McCain over the democratic nominee if push came to shove come November.

And I admit, I don't grasp why somebody who strongly identifies as conservative would vote for Obama. What exactly does Obama bring that benefits conservatism?

Staying at home, or voting for some as yet unnamed third party candidate is one thing, but casting a vote for the guy who doesn't have an ounce of conservatism in him to vote against the guy who is at the very least conservative on some positions doesn't make sense if you identify as a conservative.

Right of center people I can see liking Obama, because chances are they may be in agreement on some things, but a conservative?

I am not so sure the average conservative voter will pass up on voting for McCain, if he wins the nomination.

What exactly IS an "average conservative voter"? Because I have to say that I have a STRONG dislike for Hillary; it's time to end the Bush/Clinton monopoly, and I wouldn't exactly favor Obama, but if McCain gets the nomination....

Hello Democrat President.

No Lie.

I would vote for Ron Paul before McCain EVER got my vote.

The difference, though, is that McCain doesn’t have a wife who inherited a ketchup fortune.

My understanding is that McCain's wife, while not rich to the extent of Heiz, is wealthy and provides most of the family income.

I think many will realize at some point voting for McCain is still better than letting Hillary or Obama win. They may not come out as McCain supporters, but I bet they end up voting for him with their fingers pinching their noses.

A year ago I would have said McCain was at the top of my "not voting for him" list. Shoot in the various straw polls over the last year I often clicked "unacceptable" by his name. But in the end I voted for him in the primary. Not because I love him or am extremely passionate about him, but because he seemed to be the best pick from the choices I was given.

I am not sure if he will win the primary, much less the general election, but I do think he is a better candidate than the other choices, and he is much closer to the average voter in policy position than either democratic front runner.
