I don't like McCain at all, and will vote for Obama because it will prevent McCain from winning, not because Obama is a solid presidential candidate.

I thought of something, and want to confirm if it is true or not...

While reading through the other threads, I see a trend, and want to confirm whether or not it is true.

Please try to fit how you feel into one of these options...

Sadly this how much of America views the election. Even most of my democratic friends admit Obama isn't a good choice but they consider him the most electable. I rarely meet anyone enthusiastic about McCain.

The GOP desperately needs some new young stars to emerge.

Frankly I'd love to see some LU alumni step forward. If I were better connected in the political money machine I might be inclined to participate. But my exposure to said machine was at times disconcerting.

That's a stretch based on his brief appearance in Lynchburg.

We actually have some LU grads in various political office. But we're nowhere near as influential as we could be.

I thought about holding my nose and actually voting Constitutional until I found out he was their candidate. If it was Baldwin vs. Obama, I'd have to vote Obama or stay home.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I can't bring myself to support the guy. I lived in Pensacola for a while, and even knew some people from his church. I got along with them just fine, but Baldwin himself just rubs me the wrong way.
