Pinstripe Politics: Suicide Voters?
I heard several stories today about conservatives willing to vote for Clinton or Obama over McCain in the general election. Are they crazy?
True, McCain is not an all-around conservative, but he has more conservative tendencies than Clinton or Obama. Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good, as I've learned in politics. McCain may not be perfect, but he's better than any Democrat - and here's why:
1. Iraq, he won't give up.
2. Potential to nominate "Scalia-like" Supreme Court justices
3. Socialized health care
4. There is a real possibility that he can die while in office, depending on who his VP is, there might end up being a conservative in the Oval Office throughout some of McCain's term in office.
Side Note: As much as Talk Radio would like people to believe that Huckabee and Romney are sharing the same votes; it simply can't be true. These same Talk Radio hosts were chiding Huckabee for being too liberal a month and a half ago, so how is he now the "other" conservative.
Head's Up: I'm heading to CPAC; look for a full review on Sunday's edition of Pinstripe Politics.
