A lot of my Republican friends get on me for not supporting John McCain. They got on me over and over about how I was going to throw away my vote, first on Ron Paul, and now on Bob Barr (more on him soon). I can't support John McCain for all sorts of reasons... and I honestly have a hard time believing why many of my Republican friends would, given how their beliefs diverge in so many ways. But despite all that, the reason I overwhelming hear the most is "because he'll appoint good judges". Are you sure?
After his public conference call with Clinton supporters (covered extensively by Jonathan Martin) Saturday, John McCain met privately with some 75 of those supporters at his Virginia headquarters, two people who were there said....Bower said he'd liked McCain's answer on judges, in which he "pointed out that he supported Bill Clinton with both Ginsberg and Breyer."Another person who was present, but asked not to be named to avoid conflict with fellow Democrats, said he'd pressed a McCain staffer on McCain's position on same-sex marriage.The staffer "said it was the same as [John] Kerry's position," he said.

The reality is that I think its more important to have a President, and more importantly Congress, that won't create all these wacky laws that need to go to the SCOTUS in the first place.
