With McCain GOP nominee, should Pubs in remaining states pick Hillary or Obama?

If you really want to screw up the Dems, the best thing to do would be to vote for John Edwards if his name is still on that ballot in you state. That would ensure that he gets some delegates, denying delegates from Obama & Clinton. Thus that would ensure a brokered convention and lotsa’ back room dealing.

If Edwards isn’t on the ballot in your state then vote for Mike Gravel.

[Mr. Brightside]

We want Hillary. (a badly wounded Hillary)

[iopscusa]

I agree with you that Obama will be much easier to beat. His Global Tax deal is just the tip of the iceberg on what he has in store for Economic policy. His empty, touchy-feely rhetoric and the fact that he is the #1 Progressive/Socialist with Muslim roots and endorsements by Ortega, Al Jeeza, EU Commies, etc, makes him much more vulnerable in the General, IMO.

[TornadoAlley3]

Go Hillary!

[ken21]

stupid.

[Ramcat]

In Pennsylvania you'd have to change registration to Democrat in order to vote in the primary. I think it's too late to do that.
The reason Mr. McCain is the front runner is because too many states allow liberals (Democrats & Independents)to pick the Republican candidate.
But, to answer your question, let's get it over with, VOTE OBAMA!

CONSERVATIVES SHOULD VOTE FOR CONSERVATIVES.

Exactly. All this talk by FReepers of "strategic" sabotage primary voting is giving me a headache. Half the people I've heard want to vote for Obama because they want to take out Hillary and think the "O" is "easier" to beat. Dream on. The other half want to vote for Hillary for the inverse reason. The end result? At the minimum, they'll end up cancelling out eachother's votes.

Worse, they might tip the results toward one who will prove far more formidable than the strategic voter expected. There is such a thing as outsmarting yourself.

How about this as a radical concept:

VOTE FOR THE PERSON IN YOUR OWN PARTY THAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO BECOME PRESIDENT!

[Old Retired Army Guy]

You want the Democrat convention deadlocked in a virtual tie. The best bet to make that happen as of now is vote for Hillary in the primary. If Hillary gets the nomination the Barack people will go nuts and sit at home during the General.

You are correct. It is a visceral feeling.
When he speaks I feel physically ill.
Whatever I am experiencing I am sickened by him.
I realize that he may appear to be naive but I think it is a ruse.

It is nothing I can but my finger on it.

I believe him to be a liar.

[Katya]

Obama...let’s knock the witch out once and for all Time

[jan in Colorado]

Vote Hillery!

Obama is a MUCH more dangerous candidate, and if he gets the nomination, there is NO stopping him!

No one will even dare run any add against him!

[apocalypto]

At least B. Obama is nice. Didn't Hillary humiliate anyone in a uniform while she was in the White House? Didn't the Clintons poke fun at the military?

Or maybe we should concentrate on voting Republican for Huckabee. Some of my relatives will be voting for the first time for a Democrat in the general election if Crazy McCain is the nominee.

[Lancey Howard]

Hillary, obviously. She is totally unelectable on a national stage and has always been totally unelectable.

Obama is a wild card and most people have no clue about that scumbag, but he’s got this silly “cult of personality” celebrity fad going on right now, and you cannot overstate the stupidity of the big mindless chattering class when it comes to voting. He may flame out by November or he may not.

Go, Hillary.

This bears repeating.

It's been my observation that Obama supporters seem to be content for him to spout empty phrases while they cheer enthusiastically at each new offering.  But what are they cheering?  There's very little substance.  And what little there is, is quite troubling, certainly nothing to cheer about.

Obama is merely this year's tired old retread on a gimmick that has brought the democrats some measure of success in the past.  In 1972, voters went to the polls to vote for a guy they knew very little about.  That brought us the malaise years, the incredibly destructive Carter administration.

Once again in 1992, we were offered up another governor this time from Arkansas that voters knew very little about.  That year they voted in the slickmeister, perhaps the closest thing to a (dixie) mafia stooge we'll ever get.  Where do you begin to describe those years, watching the democrats defend a guy for having sex with a woman thirty years his junior in the Oral Office, while not having more than five minutes conversation with her during the first year of their deeply fulfilling relationship.  The guy even made phone calls from the Oral Office talking to politicians about deploying U.S. toops, while getting serviced.  And that was by no means the worst of it.

Here we are again with an unknown.  The guy offers up some great speeches, it's just that they're calorie free.  It's as if his supporters see him as some modernistic version of Yoda.  When he speaks they close their eyes and rely on the Force.  The question is, which side is that Force on?  Is it the Alican Skywalker Force, or the Darth Vador Force?

Folks need to read about Obama.  If ever there was a guy that folks should get to know before voting, this is the one.  The vacant see him as a benevolent sage, but I'm thinking it will turn out to be a more like Derth Maul.  The vacant hammer of this year's left.

The graphic cycles approximately every thirty seconds.

We can't even agree on who to vote for in GOP primaries (which is why we are in this mess with McCain), you want us to agree on how to vote in Democratic ones!?

[ncalburt]

Don’t forget to mention the staged fainting operatives at rallies. Elmer Gantry lives !
You got to love the way he won his senate seat.
Have a fellow Daley hack reopen the sealed divorce papers
of his rival repub who was ahead at the time !
Add another horn for that one alone.

[DoughtyOne]

Good points. Thanks.

[Yosemitest]

Hillary or Obama will do.

ANYONE BUT McCain!!!!

[TheEaglehasLanded]

I think it is very clear most FREEPERS don’t want McCain to be President and the race is now over with Romney’s endorsement.

Wisconsin is voting Tuesday, if you don’t have a down ballot contest you’re interested in you should register or ask for Dem ballot if you can, vote for Hillary to keep the race near deadlock.
