Just don't expect me to hug any trees

I haven’t left the Republican party. It left me. Ronald Reagan

You know, I’ve spent my entire life time separating the Right from the kooks. William F. Buckley

Alas, it would seem the kooks are running the Republican party. Let's be clear. John McCain is a great man. No one could, or should ever deny that. I've respected him as a warrior, statesman, and conservative. But he has strayed in his attempt to become president, and I do not recognize him anymore. I do not feel he is right for the country. Sarah Palin shows promise, as a young, and yes, I'lll say it, female conservative, she has a lot of potential. But she is not right for the country, at least not now. And honestly, she should have known better.

So I am endorsing Obama for president. I have many issues with him, but he does seem the better of the two. I have no great love for Biden, but he'll do I guess.

It's probably all moot, since McCain has a double digit lead in the great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and if you're not snagging electoral votes, what good are you?

Then again, there's always the mayoral vote. At least there I can count on my vote meaning something there.
