I voted for MIke Huckabee, partly because he’s a Christian, partly because he ran a series of Chuck Norris jokes in a campaign ad. (I had decided earlier in the year that I was going to vote for whoever made me laugh the most, see.)
I voted against Obama later on reasoning that McCain probably wouldn’t be as liberal, and he knew a thing or two about war – which I felt was something that the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces ought to have some experience with considering that we were (and still are) actively involved in combat. Didn’t much like the guy myself, and I thought his people were delivering all of the wrong messages during his campaign. Yes, he’s a veteran who has suffered for his country. No, don’t talk about how he can’t raise his arms over his head, that just makes him look weak and is only good for eliciting pity.
In the year since I’ve poked around some on the more conservative parts of the web, and learned that McCain is just as undesirable as Obama, though for different reasons. And I’m kinda glad that the economic crisis landed in a known liberal’s lap.
