As a republican, I see that we are in a mess, because our candidate?

No I disagree with you. McCain is a flawed candidate, we will have to vote him in, and lets make sure to hold his feet to the fire. I don�t like that he doesn�t have the conservative stand, but compared to the alternative, he is a FAR better candidate for President. I think conservatives will be voting for McCain holding there noses, for the prospect of an obama Presidency is just TOO much to bare.
