Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - A Question for Conservatives: For whom should I vote in the upcoming Texas primary?

Aladdin Sane · 02-14-2008, 03:10 PM

As a conservative, I am having a time reconciling myself to John McCain. I don't like him. I find him to be opportunistic, egotistical, and untrustworthy. Still, when push comes to shove, in the general election, I will cast my vote for him because he is obviously better than anyone the Dems will put forward.

In the meantime, I plan to cast a tactical vote in the primary for either Hillary or Obama.

Should I pull the lever for Hillary, hoping that she will be easiest to beat in November? Or shall I vote for the empty-suit Obama, knowing that if he gets elected he'll not be able to get any of his destructive ideas passed into law?

I am leaning toward Hillary, because her negatives are through the roof-- the perfect Democrat candidate, methinks.
