Hey Desert Rat: I know you hate McCain.... what are your thoughts if it comes down to him VS Obama or Hillary (well, I can guess on the Hillary one)?

I'm so conflicted.... there is at least one thing that I hate about all the candidates... I'm having trouble picking one. Not that it matters.... when it comes to the real election, Texas will go to the republican candidate... period.
You might be surprised at this, but I'd take Hillary over Obama anytime.

Obama has no platform. His campaign speeches are extremely shallow and offer no direction on policy. He campaigns on slogans of Hope and Change alone without truly elaborating what those changes are.

Facts: Hillary and Obama are both anti-2nd amendment rights and Hillary has gone so far as to support potential UN resolutions that would impact US citizens and their right to bear arms. Both want socialized medicine, and while I haven't heard much on Obama's plan, Hillary wants you to pay for it directly, but only if you're in an income bracket to afford it.

To me the worst of the republicans are still better than the best of the dems. I have two big hangups with McCain: His temper and his pro-amensty stance on illegal immigration. Still, I'd vote for him over Obama and Hillary.

As I've stated previously in this thread, the lesser of all evils concept has me pulling for Romney. If Huckabee gets the nomination, that will pose the biggest dilemma of all, as I don't think someone that far on the right should be running this country either, and evengelicals should honestly stay in church and out of politics.

As for Rift's comments, I'm not so sure that Hillary or Obama could run away with this. Hillary will draw a lot of people out to vote against her. Obama....at some point he's going to have to start showing some substance.

The cross party debates will be interesting after the primaries if he wins the nomination. I think McCain and Romney could tear him up. Huckabee...not so much.
