Is the only reason you're voting for McCain to vote against Obama?

You've basically said it best. I wonder if anyone pledging to vote for McCain even thinks about this little thing called the "war in Iraq"? McCain is benefiting from pure ignorance. Now, the ignorance I'm referring to can have multiple forms such as uninformed, misinformed, racist etc..

In the 2004 election, very few Democrats were passionate about Kerry. I remember bumperstickers begging for "anyone but Bush." Because the Democrats failed to nominate a candidate that they actually liked and respected, Bush won in 2004. (Maybe some people voted for Bush just to oppose Kerry, but I'd say that it was really the other way around.) You're right - that usually never works. I am voting for McCain because I like him. I would be voting for McCain regardless of the Democrats' nominee in this election.

Not necessarily better not voting. Many times through the course of American history the "perfect candidate" has not been offered up. therefore, it becomes very often a "one is better than the other, but neither is perfect" choice. If you perceive one candidate is so inexperienced, so ultra-liberal, so socialistic (dare I say communistic), so out of touch with the nature and mission of the military at time of war, so inclined to associate with, not just un-American, but anti-American comrades (Wright/Ayers), has suspiciously concerning Muslim ties with Africa and Indonesia, has never served the country in the armed forces, supports "rights" for illegal aliens, supports the wanton killing of innocent babies...well, sometimes rather than not vote, one MUST choose to vote for the other guy. In this case, it is absolutely imperative that we vote for McCain to offset the newly registered, brain-numb semi-children supporting Obama for absolutely no other reason than he is younger than McCain and will "change." Oh, you foolish and naive young children...there are times when age and experience mean something. this is one of those times. It has been fun supporting Obama, like awesome fur sur, but it is now time to exercise some signs of intelligence, mature and exercise common sense. Obama is not yet ready for such an extraordinarily responsible position. No more than you, after taking a course in human biology would then be prepared to perform neurosurgery...the experience really does count for something.

It happens more times than not. Especially when the opposition candidate is someone as dangerously under-qualified, naive and elitist is in danger of getting elected. To me, McCain or even Hillary are just your garden variety poor quality candidates. Obama takes incompetent to dangerous new levels.

If Hillary is the nominee I will not vote for her. But if Obama is the nominee, I will not only not vote for him, I will vote for McCain and campaign rigorously to defeat Obama.

He is really that dangerous. Trust me. I was a young adult when Carter got elected. I will never let something like that happen again if I can help it. That is why I must do everything in my power to defeat Obama.

NO.....Obama has only 2 years experience in Congress as a Junior Senator.--McCain has 25 years of experience as a Senior Senator in Congress.---Obama was voted the MOST Liberal Senator in ALL of Congress by the Nayional Journal.---- McCain is a dedicated , Patriotic, decorated War-Hero who suffered in a POW Camp for almost 6 years.--- Obama NEVER enlisted or served in the Military & IS Unpatriotic.-- Unlike many people who vote FOR Obama just because Obama is Black.....I do NOT vote for McCain because he is White.--- I vote for McCain because he is far more experienced, qualified, honest & patriotic than Obama is.

I voted for Kerry for no other reason than to vote against Bush.

I will do the same (hopefully with a different outcome) with McCain to keep B. Hussein from destroying our country. I think I will have a -lot- of company.

It has been a while since we had a presidential candidate I could really get excited about. And although I dislike Obama (and Clinton) more than I like McCain; I do like McCain.

If the Dems want Americans to stop voting against their candidates they should stop running such crappy candidates. Run a good candidate and I will vote for him/her. Keep running Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and Obama and I will keep voting against them.

Yes and no. It's a big motivator for me because my favorite candidate is/was Hillary. But I have always respected John McCain and trust him 100% with national security and military issues.

Obama is fine in some ways but I believe that he's a Marxist, an Islamist, and a racist. And I REALLY don't like the fact that his rise to the nomination was engineered by anti-Clinton DNC bigwigs, the MoveOn.org peeps, and the rabidly far-left media. I don't like having a candidate shoved down my throat and Americans, in general, won't go for being told who to vote for.

The fact is, we live in a center-right country. Obama may be polling well now but I think he's peaking. Once the Republican political machine sinks its money into McCain's campaign (and their claws into Obama), he's going to lose.

McCain '08!!!

Obama's vision for America will desecrate the middle class financially! I'm all for change in the right direction and for the good of the country.But will not vote for just words.

McCain has the logical path to proper change. He has the experience to get us thru these hard times. Obamas path is better suited for when our country is more stable.

McCain is my favorite politician. I voted for Bush to vote against Kerry, but my enthusiasm for McCain is sincere.
