The reason I'd never vote for McCain is that he, well, "supports" may be too strong a word, but refuses to oppose waterboarding. I'm not a single-issue voter, but there are non-negotiable issues for me, and anyone who won't come out and say that "torture is what the bad guys do, and we're not bad guys, so we will neither torture, nor try to weasel around it by calling it 'enhanced interrogation' or whatever" won't get my vote.

I just get the feeling Hillary would support waterboarding if it would get her elected! Many that's overstating it a bit, but Hillary just strikes me as someone who wants to get elected for the sake of getting elected rather than to try to make the world a better place, and that just makes me uneasy about her.

I'd rather vote for someone who wants to get elected in order to get elected, over someone who wants to get elected in order to expand the war on, well, everything, and to use immoral tactics to do it.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize Bush was running again.

It'll be a moot point. Obama will be getting my vote in November.

He is -- he's just calling himself "McCain" this time.
