Baby boomers ruined my country! ;)

I think that Obama might be the better long-term choice for conservatives.  I think that he's got no political capital and will butt heads with the folks on the Hill because he's so far to the left.  I think that midterm elections will be a disaster for the Democrats if he's elected, and I think that JUST MAYBE the Republicans will figure out that we don't want a centrist or liberal Rep to define the party platform.

This has been a pretty difficult sell for other conservatives, at least for me to pitch.  But yeah, I was starting to think I was the only one who felt this way....

I tend to agree with Myndfyre about seeing this outcome in the long-term.

But...I don't think I could ever bring myself under any circumstances to vote for Obama.

At least McCain isn't going to tax the life out of us for an endless list of failed liberal programs and initiatives--and for that matter at least McCain isn't going to have a reckless foreign policy and will allow us to explore/drill for much needed off shore oil reserves.  His Veep pick is what I am looking forward to and to see how it will affect some of McCain's less desirable platform ideas and positions.
