I am one of the many Independent and frustrated voters. I lean Romney but I cannot get energized by "any" of the candidates. I do have respect for McCain but I also have concerns with his candidacy. His support of Amnesty and his opposition to the tax cuts are troubling. I could also include a long "list" of what I believe to be liberal positions that McCain has taken over the years but that's not necessary as many of you "know" what I am referring to. I have similar concerns with Hillary and Romney,both candidates are classic politicians who are willing to change positions to acquire additional votes.

It's the classic selection of one evil over another perhaps,lesser evil.I've been hearing many Independents and partisans alike state that they will stay home in November. I doubt that they will stay home but some will,others may gamble on a relatively unknown quantity and vote for a drastic change.I never really worry about the partizans,they will vote for their party no matter who gets the nomination. Politics as usual may well survive but this has been a most interesting election cycle. In 2004 I was still debating my choice when I was pulling into the parking lot to cast my vote. Fortunately..this has not always been the case. Voting solely on political philosophy is not a bad thing if you can find a candidate that you can trust to uphold that philosophy and that is the dilemma some of us find ourselves in.Moderates may come out ok in this election,it's the true partisans that will have sleepless nights from now until November.
