Bush 41 Adds His Endorsement

McCain continues to work on establishing unity in the Republican Party to support him this fall. The elder and former President Bush added his endorsement yesterday. These are good steps and needed.

These things take time. I still feel at present that I don't particularly like John McCain, but of the available options see him as our best option for strong leadership at a time of great national peril.

Clinton is a disaster. Obama is likable and great at the sound bites. Unfortunately thus far is almost a hollow shell in terms of showing us any substance or specifics. How do you choose a guy for president who isn't willing to be specific about anything or tell us precisely what he would do in the White House? As McCain suggested, platitudes just don't cut it when we're talking about the leadership of the free world. This isn't, or shouldn't be, a popularity contest.

Exactly. I don't like McCain much either, but I am looking for someone best able to do the job. I wish Clinton would win the primaries, as I think she would be easier for McCain to beat. When you look at how Obama has vote in the state legislature, and now nationally, he would be bad for us. Leaves McCain. He has made some serious mistakes, but overall would be better off for the nation. Especially with 1-2 supreme court seats possibly opening up. McCain doesn't have to be my friend, but he needs our serious support, or we could really be hurting for years.
