Larry Hunter sums up my own feelings as well:

But, sad as I am to say it, no matter how Senator Obama answers these questions–regardless of whether he remains deaf and blind to economic reality–I will still support him for president if he can change the direction of American foreign policy and begin to restore the freedoms the Bush and Clinton administrations and their cronies in Congress took away from us in the name of national security.

The Bush Administration has not only destroyed the faith and trust of conservatives with a conscience, but they have betrayed their own party and philosophy. Their rhetoric that liberals who oppose their policies are akin to traitors is hollow since their own actions have been Constitutionally treasonous. I’m not sure that I’ll vote for Barack Obama, but I know I will not vote for another Republican for a long time.

Listening to John McCain talk is like listening to George W. Bush discuss NASCAR through a muzzle. If McCain can’t come clean and speak his true mind, shaking off the wallets of his biggest supporters and getting back his “straight talk” while saying something profound and important then he will lose. And what he will lose is far more important than a simple election. He will lose the next 8, and possibly more, years of power and control that the Republicans need to be effective in Washington. Bush has already lost much of that, but McCain will end up throwing the rest of it down the drain.

Obama with no running mate is better than John McCain or any Republican today with the best running mate. Even if it isn’t ideal.
