"I'm a Republican, and I liked McCain but...."
"...choosing Palin was the stupidest thing I've seen in my life!" says my Republican co-worker. He's sitting this one out. Strange thing is he likes Obama, but thinks he'll be a one term president, and he doesn't like Biden.

3. Yup
I might convince him to vote for Obama, if I just shield him from Biden Bytes

2. My neighbor is a Repo but she can't abide Palin either. It's too much to swallow, finally.

4. My parents are Libertarians.
They typically vote for the Libertarian candidate.

They told me that they don't mind McCain too much. However, this year they are both voting for Obama, specifically because they really despise Sarah Palin and are afraid that she might end up in the presidency.

5. Better that they sit it out than vote for McCain.
I have a nephew who proudly announced that he was voting for McCain. When I asked why, his response was that he wasn't any worse than Bush.
:wtf:

Anyway, I checked to see if this Einstein had registered, and he hasn't. Evidently; it has either slipped his half-mind, or he doesn't know he has to.

Oops.

7. Not much of an endorsement.
He's probably no worse the Hitler either, but I'd hate to find out!

8. I've met more than a half dozen or more that are sitting this out.
including my father and step-mother. Good, because they are not
going to the polls and even supporting republicans for senate and house seats.
