Well, I usually vote for Democrats, and if Hlllary gets the nod, I will likely vote for McCain.

I must say, despite all the hatred here, Hillary is not pure evil, and neither is Bill. Even Hitler wasn't pure evil (autobahns, VW's, some nice paintings [Churchill's paintings were better!] - LOL).....but, like Hitler, both of these two ought to be opposed with all our efforts.

Why? Well, Hilary and Bill are both far greater liars and far more desperate for power than Nixon ever was - and that is saying something. And I feel and understand the hatred they inspire. Deep down, Nixon made you feel sad, 'cause he never seemed happy or comfortable with himself. And, yes, it is beyond doubt that he was a crooked liar. But after breaking some small rules, he still bowed to the greater ones and resigned due to political pressure. I think the true fear is that Hillary and Bill will not do this. Heck, Bill proved it in the late 1990's (had he stepped down, Gore would have been incumbent in 2000, and made up those few votes and we wouldn't be stuck in Iraq).

Basically, despite his sickness, in the last instance, Nixon was able to place country above his own personal future. And Bill (and Hillary) were not able to do this. (And don't start with the "it was just a lie about sex" defense - a lawyer knows what perjury is, just as a former stockbroker like Martha Stewart knows what insider trading is - the rules are the rules, and if you get caught, no matter how it all started, you'd better play it straight).

If Hillary wins, I cannot vote for her.

Obama? Well, I think that words ARE the most important part of the presidency - and that vagueness in the campaign is OK (Reagan 1980?). It IS A BULLY PULPIT and not much more. A president can't legislate a recession away, but he can inspire tens of thousands inside government and outside government to put in more effort, and work towards a better world, and thus by "Voodoo" make it happen. By similar "Voodoo" he/she can make people love this country a bit more again. Again, this is what Reagan did that proved of so much value. I don't want my taxes raised, and I don't want my SS deduction to keep going all year, but hey, we've spent ourselves into a hole and I don't want my kids to pay forever either. And I don't think our spendthrifts ways will help us indefinitely.

Hillary vs. McCain? McCain.

Obama vs. McCain? Unsure, and will listen to the debates closely, though I've given money to the Obama campaign.
