As a lifelong conservative, I'm not too thrilled with McCain, but I certainly wasn't going to vote for Obama. But based on the polls, and the high excitement level for Obama, it certainly looks like I will be in the minority.

Am I the only Republican in this thread?

Nope, +1 for mccain here

I'm pretty sure that's like half the people here. It's my position, at least.

yeah, I feel the same as well...too bad it's not a very easy idea to sell these days.

There's been a unfortunate disconnect for the past 30 years between taxes and what taxes can actually be used for, which hasn't helped either. If we see good usage of tax dollars over the next few years, maybe a slight tax increase on everyone would be easier to sell.

I mean, we're at a point in our history where apparently raising the tax 4-5% on the wealthiest people gets you called a "socialist" for weeks on end. So, yeah, it's gonna be tough.
 
FLORRRRRIIIIDDAAAAA!!!! Redeem us, dammit! I hate having my state as part of G.A.F. This is the time to knock on doors, make some phone calls. Make me proud, Florida!

Please. Sanchez rips Joe for thinking the taxes should be the same rate across the board. Then, Sanchez says that he believes the flat tax is a remarkable idea. WTF?

hey, I'm just summarizing what other people were saying. I didn't see the video.

Why? I mean, I am considered right wing by left wings, left wing by right wings, conservative by progessionist and progressive by conservatives. I'll always vote for whoever I deem best in the current situation.

If you are less thrilled about McCain than about Obama, you know what to do. That, and hope the Republicans will field a better candidate come next election. Or at last, that's the way I go about things.

Remark: I'm European, I may be crazy. Your choice.

Hrm....even Buchanan didn't think Pennsylvania is in peril of going red. I think there's some good word out there then.:D

Yeah, but nobody except for, like, roving bands of Mormons live outside of Tucson and Phoenix. (And Yuma and Flagstaff, I guess.) I really think Maricopa is the decisive county; Tucson is one ultra-blue CD and one barely Republican CD. WE CAN DO IT.

Yuma! \m/

+3 Obama here in AZ!

Sanchez likes the concept, but isn't delusional enough to think it would work (see: Joe).

I'm always a little stunned I don't make the list. Probably a good thing.

My brother just got back from voting for Bob Barr, so between my Obama vote and his Barr vote, we have canceled out my parent's McCain votes.:D

Hey, can someone summarize the exit poll stats for me? I'm on campus, and cnn.com doesn't appear to have any of the polls up yet...

+1 Obama vs +2 McCain = not equal

I have lots of family living in Jerusalem. Obama wants to give the entire city to Israel. That would displace many of my family members.
That's not true, he later took back that statement...
