Politics is always about picking the lesser of two evils. The only candidate I'd ever agree with 100% is myself, and I'm not running.

As for the religion issue, I think a lot of conservative christian voters are wary of voting for someone with strong religious beliefs this time around. George W. Bush's presidency has proved that this doesn't necessarily translate to the kind of presidency you want. And whether or not Romney's politics are informed by his religion, there's still the question what that religion entails exactly. Mormonism is constantly being updated to better fit the political climate, and Romney takes a page out of that book whenever he needs to win. It looks like the results are in, and Huckabee and Romney have just over half the delegates that McCain has. That's the republican party voting without religious alignment. Their old power base of fiscal conservatives is back, and the religious vote is looking more and more marginalised, especially when you take into account that it's being split between two candidates.

It's not one bit bizarre that Republicans are turning on McAmnesty McCain; he turned on the GOP a long time ago and many of us will not forget it. We are sick of being told to vote for the lesser of two evils. Evil is evil. Wrong is wrong and a Democrat is a Democrat even if they wear a Republican sign.

Romney should not be viewed for his religious beliefs (and note, they are certainly not my beliefs) unless one believes that his beliefs would affect his presidency. What bigots don't realize is that while Mormans are not Christians, their beliefs would not threaten Americans.

Now Republicans who are not Christians should be afraid of Huckabee because Huck is running on his religion. What the heck does Huck stand for besides being a Christian?

Romney certainly would not have been my first choice, but out of those left to pick from the GOP side, he is my only choice.

Trust me, the media controls what we listen to - the Holloway story will come back in full force by Thursday (tomorrow will be a mixed bag with pundits speculating what today meant).
