I've given up on John McCain...
After the recent turn of events, including, but not limited to McCain's official write-off of Michigan, I have decided that I'm voting for Barack Obama. It's clear now he's the only right candidate for the Presidency in this day and age.
John McCain is a tired old man with last century's ideas and planning. Barack seems to bring a new attitude and change with him. In these readily changing times, I think flexibility and a fresh focus is the only way to go.
Many have scoffed at Barack and his $1 trillion in new spending, but look at the Repulicans and their support of this recent $700 million bailout plan. Besides, its clear that many private sectors are not getting the job done - the auto industry, airline industry, mortgage industry - and the list goes on and on. I'm afraid government is the only immediate and real solution to these very real and very frightening problems. We can't go much longer this way.
So yes, even though I'm Republican, I just can't bear to see John McCain bring four more years of what we're already fighting against. You're a tired old man, McCain, and you've lost my vote.

There's always third party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_third_party_presidential_candidates
Better late than never, I guess.
$700 million I believe you meant billion
I have all sorts of respect for someone changing their mind. Good for you, captainplanet420.
You annoy me to no end with your incessant downvoting of every comment on a post, but I admire someone who can change their vote instead of being stubbornly pig-headed.
This non-sequitur was brought to you by the Heritage Foundation.
It is a very patriotic thing, after careful analysis and debate, to change one's stance or opinion in the face of new facts, evidence, or enlightenment.
Does this mean you're voting for Steven Seagal?
Congratulation on joining the Obama-nation. Seriously, if everybody stuck to a party there'd be no point in democracy. Lesser of two evils, as always.
Flip-flopper. No one should ever be allowed to change their mind. Ever.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
