Is it over yet?

I am pretty sick of the presidential campaign, as I'm sure many people are. I'm not a die-hard Republican, but I do tend to vote GOP in many elections. This year presents a real dilemma for me. I am sooooo not a McCain supporter; his temper, his flip-flopping, and his insincerity drive me nuts. I think it would be safe to say that I detest him.

The Democrats, on the other hand, aren't offering me much to crow about either. I thought about supporting Obama, because he's not your run-of-the-mill politician, and I like the idea of change. After reading more into his ideals and where he stands on the issues, though, he couldn't be further from where I'm at. I can't in good conscience support him for president. He's far too liberal for me, and I'm not all that thrilled with his wife either. Granted, she's not running for president, but a person's taste in choosing a spouse says a lot about them.

That brings us to Hillary. I honestly don't know what I think about her. I couldn't stand her at first, but I'm softening a little bit, if only because I think she might be the lesser of two evils. I don't loathe her any more, at least. There are so many Republicans who do, however, that if she ends up being the Dems' nominee, it may be enough to ensure a McCain victory.

So what's a conservative, undecided voter to do? At this point I have no idea. I may just visit the polls this November and waste my vote with a written-in "Romney for President."
