Reply #69: frankly, I can't stomach either of them . . . come November . . .

[OneBlueSky]

I will likely vote for whichever one is the nominee, but only because s/he will make marginally better court appointments than McCain . . . I have no illusions that either will create any significant change in foreign or domestic policy, however, and I reserve my right to not vote at all, depending on developments between now and November . . .

but whether I vote or not is of absolutely no consequence . . . either candidate running against McCain will ensure a close enough election that the vote tabulators will be able to do their magic in enough close states to swing the election to the Republicans -- just as they did in 2000 and 2004 . . . never forget that "it's not who votes that counts; it's who counts the votes" . . . and "who counts the votes" are Republican corporations . . .
