Well, Steve, you are proving what I just said about leadership.
If you want people to vote for McCain, then you better start providing some reasons why. It is a whole lot better to win people over than try and coerce them. I suspect you are going to have a lot of people in your district telling you to kiss their you-know-what.
My own personal voting habit is that I try to vote for what I think is best for the country. I do not vote for the best for the Party. It is the Party’s responsibility to do what is best for the country. I have voted Republican all my life, because I have always believed that Republican values and my values were closely alligned. If they do not coincide, and it is beginning to look like they do not, then I have no problem looking for a party that will better represent my values.
These are Constitutional values. One votes for representative government. Each man has the freedom to vote as he wishes. Votes have to be earned. Also, only citizens vote, not illegal aliens.
Political power comes from the number of votes someone receives, and if you start telling people to take a hike and they do, their voting power does not diminish. They still have their one vote. It will be the Republican Party that has less political power.
