As I mentioned before, it looks like it'll be Romney for me.
Even when I wrote about that earlier, I had a nagging doubt that maybe McCain wasn't as liberal as I thought. Well that doubt has been solidly put to rest:
NYT endorses McCain
If the Times likes him, he's ultra liberal.
As a matter of fact, I have decided that if McCain gets the nomination, I will absolutely not be voting Republican in this presidential election. I would likely vote for the Libertarian candidate. However, if Obama wins the Dem primary, I could find myself voting for him. Highly unlikely, but possible. If any other Dem gets it, then I will absolutely vote Libertarian.
And, as we all know, Giuliani has no hope. It'd be funny if he came out on top in FL, but no way. And I still have problems with his personal ethics.
As for the Republican primary, I may just vote for Ron Paul after all.
Now, everyone seems to think he's a nutcase, and I agreed with them somewhat because he seemed to be a little extreme, but here's some of his voting record:
On the Issues
and, as I've posted earlier, here's his own issues page:
Ron Paul 2008
Here's my question:
Other than wanting to pull out of Iraq, exactly where is Ron Paul crazy? I'm not seeing it. What am I missing? Why would I not vote for him?
He won't win the nomination, so it looks like its down to McCain and Romney there.

Well, he *is* a racist and an anti-semite. Also, he's obsessed with the gold standard.
HOLY CRAP!!!
I googled some of this stuff and really got an education.
After the racist and anti semite stuff and other awful stuff that came along with that, I didn't even bother with the gold standard.
In my own defense, I was focusing on his political record, which makes sense. I didn't look into his personal life or accusations from enemies and such, so I never came across this stuff.
I'm going to make a new post of this, rather than just a reply.
Thank you very much for pointing this out to me.
