[quote=yellow8yellowm]We can safely assume that either Obama or McCain will be the next president. From a purely logical/realist standpoint, your vote or non-vote is going to influence which one will be in office.[/quote]
Sorry, but I absolutely disagree. I live in California and California will cast all of its electoral college votes for the Democratic nominee. It is such a certain, that McCain will not even both to campaign here. If we didn’t have an electoral college, I would feel differently. BUT we do have an electoral college and there is no way that my vote is going to influence who is in office so let’s not pretend that it will.

This part I can agree with. I will vote. (I pretty much always do)
But the point of my post, and my point still is: I can not for one minute understand why anyone with half a brain could support McCain. (And actually, yes you could extend that to Obama too) And so my question was, and still is to those of you who post on Piggington’s with Pro McCain attitudes, how can you do that with a straight face? It’s one thing to say, OMG he’s terrible, but he’s better than Obama. But it’s a totally different thing to actually be “for” him and to think he’s got what it takes to be a good president.
