Also like John I am excited with Sarah Palin pick as VP. I found his whole article a worth while reading especially if you are not sure yet if you are ready to support McCain or not.

Why I Am Now Supporting John McCain For President - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)
As RWN's regular readers already know, I have been a harsh critic of John McCain for a long time and back in May, I wrote a post called, "Why I Will No Longer Support John McCain For President." That post was widely linked and was probably why I was blackballed from the Republican National Convention.
However, the rumors, lies, and attacks on Sarah Palin's family, many of which have been spread by the mainstream media, have been absolutely despicable.
Barack Obama was celebrated for being the first black candidate to have a chance at the Presidency. Hillary Clinton was celebrated for being the first woman to have a chance at the Presidency. Even Nancy Pelosi, who has been a political disaster, was celebrated for being the first female Speaker of the House.
Yet, when Sarah Palin, a woman more qualified to be President that Barack Obama, was selected as the first Republican VP, there was no celebration, no congratulations, just a smear campaign that has been unprecedented in American politics.
Despite the fact that I have a lot of differences with John McCain, I am going vote for him and I would encourage you to do the same. Whatever else you may say about the man, he is capable of handling the presidency and his election will teach the Left more about common decency than any mere words ever could.

Ron Paul is the man. Back to the gold standard. Central banks are socialism in disguise. if you have a good conscience vote for Ron by write in, or Bob Barr on the libertarian ticket. Both 'get it', McCain speaks change but not an end to regulation and promotion of the free market. More red tape under McCain, more 20 years of the same, he cant run from his record.
Paul Bot need to decide what makes since.
In the end this election going to come down to John McCain or Barack Obama a vote for anyone else is pretty much the same as not voting it is your right to do so but in the end the results are the same. So you have to decide witch of the two you would rather have in office. In the end McCain is the lessor of two evils hopefully in 2012/2016 i wont have to vote for the lessor of two evils and more for someone I actually like.
Thanks
