Mr. Puzzled,

I certainly do not want the Democrats to win. For that same reason, I will vote for McCain, as I mentioned above. My dilemma is a bit different as I am sharing it. I am sitting here wondering how much longer I can vote Republican. I confess that many of the above mentioned concerns are my concerns.

I wonder if McCain represents the will of the Republican Party, since several of the preliminary primaries were open, and in one Michelle Malkin reported that 3% of the voters were Democrats. (I am relying on my recall, so if I am wrong on this point, please disregard it.)

Now, there are those here evidently who question whether they can vote for McCain or not. I am not at that point, for the simple reason that I see too much at stake. But, I do not think that McCain is the man for the job.

In my mind, I am not asking for a do-over. Perhaps others want that. Part of being an American is accepting the outcomes of elections. That does not mean that I have to like them. I do not think the focus of this conversation is complaining and wishing for a do-over. I think there are a lot of people looking around, wondering who they will vote for, or if they will vote.
