Vote with the winner of the election -- Obama.  I'm dead serious, if I hadn't sent my vote in the mail already, I would consider sitting out the election.

A lot of it is because my support of McCain is a whole lot more mild than before.

Vote with the winner of the election -- Obama. 

What does this accomplish? What is with people's self esteem these days? You have to vote for the expected winner to feel like you matter?

I'm really disappointed in Ronnie. Saying you should vote for the favored candidate is the stupidest thing I've ever read. I suppose we should stop standing up for what we believe in and just lay down to the mighty Obama. I really hope you find your voice again, Ronnie. If you don't believe in your principles, then what do you have? Just roll with the Obama crowd, 70% of them that know nothing about what's going on?

Chill out, I was kidding, and already voted for McCain.  It is pretty silly that you're giving me all this attention for nothing.

But believe it or not, many people will vote for Obama because he's ahead.

It just gets on my nerves that the majority of your posts lately have been telling people how sorry you are that you voted for McCain and to vote for Obama because he's going to win. Yes, a lot of people will probably vote for Obama because they think he's going to win, but that doesn't mean we should all cheapen ourselves to that level. Most of us who post on this forum are better informed than that. We aren't like "everyone else."

Make no mistake, I would still probably vote for McCain, but this election in my head has swiftly gone from being pro-McCain to anti-Obama, and recently my hatred toward Obama isn't intense at all.

Keep in mind, I would likely vote for Obama if the GOP had a decent sized control of congress.

Torie has too much influence on you. I like him as much as the next guy, but I don't base my political opinions on him. It seems ever since he decided to vote for Obama, you suddenly decided to begin whining about how you wish you hadn't voted for McCain.

And you would vote for Obama if the GOP had control of Congress? Do you just vote randomly? You're basically an independent that wants divided government if what you're saying? That's fine, I just want to understand you more ..

Yes, I'm a Republican-leaning Independent, even though I'm a registered Republican.  If there was a Republican-leaning Independent avatar on this forum, I would wear it.

And for the tenth time, I would almost certainly vote the same way as before (McCain) if I still had my ballot with me.  I'm not whining about anything.
