For those of you throwing away your vote on a major party candidate, what would be the worst possible choice put before you? I think that Hillary vs. McCain would be about as vile as the current lineup is likely to provide. There are worse possible lineups, but that is the worst of the ones I see as likely. BTW, a local talk radio host has been calling McCain a different type of pachyderm - a rhino (rino - or republian in name only). Since rhinoceroses are pachyderms too, that works as a pretty good joke.

McCain's Bad But I thing Gulianni is worse. I probably could not bring myself to vote for either even against Hillary. But Ru Paul's stance on the war doesn't endear me to his cause either.
Every vote for someone other than the Republican puts Hillary and Bill one vote closer to the White House.
I will admit though, I could not vote for McCain. If he wins the nomination we will truly be living a nightmare.

Mahonri, that's only true if everyone not voting for a democrat or republican would otherwise have voted for the republican, and that's simply not the case. For instance, you have liberal third parties, such as the green party. Ralph Nader is considering running again this year. Many people accuse him of stealing the election from the democrats. Plus, even those of conservative bent would not necessarily vote for a republican candidate. If, for instance, they passed some law that you had to vote only for one of the two major party candidates, many people who now vote third party simply would not vote.

Ed Decker's nightmare ticket would be Romney vs. Reid.
The new President would immediately begin to gather around him increasing numbers of zealous Temple Mormons in strategic places at the highest levels of government. A crisis similar to the one which Mormon prophecies "foretold" occurs, in which millions of Mormons with their year's supply of food, guns, and ammunition play a key role. Under cover of the national and international crisis, the Mormon President of the United States acts boldly and decisively to assume dictatorial powers. With the help of The Brethren and Mormons everywhere, he appears to save America and becomes a national hero. At this time he is made Prophet and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day [sic] Saints and the Mormon Kingdom of God, while still President of the United States. There is no provision in the Constitution to prevent this. With the government largely in the hands of increasing numbers of Mormon appointees at all levels throughout the United States, the Constitutional prohibition against the establishment of a state church would no longer be enforceable. Ed Decker, The God Makers 241-42.
That Ed Decker is a piece of work, I'm still trying to figure out if he is full blown tarded or just semi tarded.

Senator Hillary Clinton was invited to address a major gathering of The American Indian nation two weeks ago in upper New York State.
She spokefor almost an hour on her future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living, should she one day become the first female President.
She referred to her career as a New York Senator, how she had signed "yes" for every Indian issue that came to her desk for approval. Although the Senator was vague on the details of her plan, she seemed most enthusiastic about her future ideas for helping her "red sisters and brothers".
At the conclusion of her speech, the Tribes presented the Senator with a plaque inscribed with her new Indian name - "Walking Eagle".The proud Senator then departed in her motorcade, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later inquired of the group of chiefs of how they hadcome to select the new name given to the Senator.
They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of poop it can no longer fly.

Billary's campaign is now whining that their main in-party opponent has a supporter who called them consumate liars (or something to that effect) and used to be one of their supporters and is demanding this main in-party opponent apologize, and the governor of NM is now calling for a signed agreement or declaration that candidates in the party do not bad mouth fellow candidates and blah blah blah...

It seems to me the only thing you've learned is that Caesar is a "salad dressing dude."
The governor of NM knows that there's not a snowball's chance in a blast furnace of the candidates signing, much less upholding, an agreement to keep the campaign positive. But he gets mileage out of it because later, when the campaign gets nasty, he'll point to it and say, "See, I tried to keep things positive."
