Now what do we do?

Mitt has officially pulled out of the running. I was listening to his speech and it broke my heart. I agree with everything he says. He really was the best candidate! He is what this country needs right now. So now what? Am I really going to have to choose between Hillary, McCain or Obama? I really don't want to vote for a democrat ... but the alternative is not much better. I wish someone could convince me that one of the remaining candidates is worth voting for. It is going to be an interesting four years. I am officially tired of this election.

POOP! I am so depressed! I echo everything that you just said and add..."What is wrong with people!?"

I wondered about McCain as well, but this CNN article made a few good points, which at least made me feel a little better:

What a bummer! If McCain chooses Huckabee as a running mate and the only other choice is Hilary....I might have to move out of the country! How will I ever be able to vote for either in good conscience?

I am so with you!

Your mom was the one who told me today! Isn't that funny? Your mom and my mom say the exact same things about the candidates. Can't wait to see you but shhhh it's surprise!

I agree with you completely and I am thinking of not voting at all but that doesn't help much! i think I'll write in Mitt Romney.

Ashley said...

ya I pretty much can't stand McCain or Hillary and don't know enough about Obama's platform to feel completely comfortable voting for him... ??? AAAUUUGGHH what to do???

Melissa said...

it's depressing. That speech was moving! I listened to it a few times. McCain scares me in many ways, but listening to Romney he said we CAN NOT let Clinton or Obama in the White House and that was why he pulled out. So there was my answer?

Renee said...

I am with you! Those 3 have a lot of work to do to convince me to vote for any of them! It will be a crazy few months!

Here's why you should vote for McCain--in his own words:

"Blah blah dull blah... P.O.W....blah blah blah...monotone blah... Jack Kemp supports me, so does so and so, and so and so, and so and so--more washington lifers you pathetic civilian peasants don't know. More monotone blah, more talking over my opponents, then some monotone lying namedropping blah. Oh, and I managed for Patriotism, not for PROFIT.."


Seriously... I HATE McCain. I am sooooooo sick of seeing him give his lame-A monotone responses, dropping as many names as possible, giving his chump thumbs up and his snarky grins, and saying "my friend" before spouting lies... I can't believe people are falling for it! He LIED on national TV, and no one called him on it. And he and Huckster's back room deal in West Virginia?? How was that ok?

So frustrated....

Please unsuspend your campaign Mitt.

I felt the same way you did when I was listening to his speech! I was soooooo sad!!! I think I'm just waiting for to unsuspend his campaign, too :) He was the only one I felt good about voting for... and not just because he is LDS!!! When you look at people and listen to them, you can get a good feeling for the kind of people they are and I just have NEVER had a good feeling for any of the others except Mitt!!!!
