Making my independent choice: McCain

McCain has the momentum now in NH. Door-to-door volunteers in our neighborhood today. His commercial and mailings about the Christmas exchange with his captor in Vietnam are very powerful and garnering a lot of attention - not an easy task when we've already got 2 ft. of snow on the ground AND it's only days before Christmas! (Yikes!) Surely, a man molded by such profound experiences can be trusted to do right by all of us.

Huckabee is still not well known in NH. His (nice!) Christmas commercial might elect him pastor, but not a wartime President. The red sweater vest just ain't gittin' it done for Rudy. Romney's flip-flopping is a turn-off. (Just how many "Massachusetts Miracle"s could there be?) Hillary’s the only qualified Democrat and she’s just too liberal for me.

So I'm going with John McCain. And now that it's almost time to choose a dance partner, I think NH might go for him as well. Should I put a sign in my yard? I'm not a bumper-sticker type. (Besides, how could it stay upright in the snow...??....LOL....
