I fear I do, that is what roubles me, I will have a lot of problems voting for him. It is his job at this point to convince me.

Accomplishment: something achieved, which is positive and of benefit.

Campaign; promoting the reasons to vote for someone due to their accomplishments in office and proposals for the future, which is the duty of the candidate in reaching out to voters, including conservatives.

Other than negative achievements, McCain-Finegold and negative proposals, McCain-Lieberman, etc., why should I vote for the candidate (voting against another candidate does not count)? Gitmo closed? Anti-waterboarding, redefined as torture, but which is also anti-national security? Taxes ( included the carbon tax)? Amnesty?

The problem many of us are left with is the answer to such questions comes down to " well, he is the Republican, and we're team players (go team go)."

I wish the presidential election were only a form of the Super bowl, fun but meaningless, in the sense it will not bankrupt or kill your grandchildren.
