Mild Depression

Yes, I have been sulking since Romney withdrew, but I am optimistic about his political future. His drop out speech in front of CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) was one of his best, and his withdrawal - Noble. The political buzz in the Republican party is that he has set himself as the leader of the Republican party and is the front runner for the next good presidential opportunity whether that be in 2012 or 2016. A survey of people leaving CPAC declared regret by Republicans for not jumping on the Romney bandwagon a while ago. Many were hesitant because of his past, but forsaken liberal stance on abortion, and some because of his Mormonism. That regret equals a unified front next go around. The only thing Romney needs to do until then is stay in the limelight by making good news and campaigning for fellow conservatives.
Now, many of you are still saying you cannot vote for Mcain. Make no mistake about it, I am not a Mcain fan!!! BUT if you are thinking you will stay home, vote for a democrat, or write in someone else you are not thinking straight or do not realize the alternative (See my Blog "Mcain Haters"). Mcain's strong suits are reason enough to vote for him.

1) Winning in Iraq, the troop surge is working and Iraqis are finally taking some control of their destiny, which took longer than expected, but they have been forced to be followers their whole life, should we expect them to change overnight. Any alternative (Obama or Clinton) to Mcain spells rapid pullout of Iraq, which would be unfair to the Iraqi people. Where is your compassion?
2) Mcain has been beating the drum for a line item veto in order to prevent arbitrary and costly last minute additions to bills passed through congress. I believe he can make a huge first step to curbing spending in Washington D.C.

He may not be perfect, but these two reasons are reason enough to vote for Mcain versus the socialist leftist options, additionally Mcain has promised to appoint conservatives to the bench. So I say with Hail to the Chief for Mcain despite my lack of enthusiasm.
