The real republicans will vote for Obama this year, or just stay home. I can't imagine any rational republican condoning the reactionary, erratic, and dangerous behavior of McCain and his campaign. well... fine. I know that William Kristol, George Will, and David Brooks, not to mention many of their followers will hold their noses and vote for McCain, under the false belief that McCain's slime belies his true honor. What these normally sane people ignore is that McCain and those who remain his vocal supporters are intentionally fomenting hatred, violence and fear, in order to have a icicles chance in hell of not losing in a blow out. Voting for McCain will condone his behavior. McCain has demonstrated the height of cynicism, and the absence of a moral compass. A vote for McCain demonstrates the same cynicism and absence in his supporters. McCain will lose this election. And perhaps, that is the greatest salve to the consciences of McCain's rational supporters. They know McCain will be a terrible president, and vote for him anyway. But, they also know they won't have to suffer the consequences of responsibility for their nod to him: his loss is a forgone conclusion.
