Observations on the Race for President

Dick Morris argues that John McCain can beat Hillary Clinton in the general election and that Mitt Romney can't. He's implying that you should vote for McCain if you dislike Clinton more than you like Romney. That's his opinion and he may be right. But he might also just be pushing his favorite.

I've said before that I believe voters and the country will be better served if we all vote for our preferred candidates and let the chips fall where they may. Anyway, I don't see that much difference between McCain and Clinton. It will be disastrous if either one of them becomes president.

I voted for Ron Paul yesterday. I practice what I preach. I would have preferred that Romney beat McCain, but he didn't get my vote because my first choice was Paul. I know I said earlier that I didn't want a Mormon to be president, but neither do I want an arrogant fool to be president.

It's interesting to note that McCain gets all 57 of the Florida delegates to the Republican National Convention even though 64% of the voters cast their votes for other candidates. It seems to me that those other candidates should get 64% of the delegates and McCain only 36%.

A lot has been said about the Democrat Party refusing to seat any Florida delegates at their convention as punishment for holding the primary election before Super Tuesday. But little has been said about the Republican Party taking away half of its Florida delegates for the same reason. Normally Florida would send 114 delegates, but this year only 57 will be seated.

Did you catch McCain's shit-eating-grin moment at the beginning of his victory speech in Florida? At the same time, he thrust out both arms in a rigid thumbs-up salute to his own imagined brilliance. His handlers need to coach him a little on acting presidential.
