That about covers it. Can’t say I’m a fan of McCain – I think he’s a liberal in Republican clothing. But he’s not the worst of the GOP options. Tancredo is a non-option as is Thompson (*sniff*).

As for Romney…I’m not a fan of the Morman religion (for my own, personal reasons) but it’s not something that would prevent me from voting for a candidate that was Morman. The fact that a candidate believes in God (and not Allah, Buddah, or any other -ah deity they can conjur up) is a point in their favor.

And if that is who the GOP chooses in it’s primary then that is who I will support. Because the alternatives are completely unacceptable to me.

Which, thinking about it, Mitt isn’t an altogether bad choice. I don’t know him personally, obviously, and he’s changed a few positions, but honestly his religion is a plus to me — I’ve yet to meet a Mormon who wasn’t a solid citizen, family values, give you the shirt off their back sort of person, and anybody rendering unto God 10% of his adjusted after-tax income knows the bite that rendering unto Caesar takes already.

Still, it’s interesting that the widget should favor him so heavily… I’d really like to see the code behind this.

Beware the media when it is fawning over a Republican.
