Well McCain is pretty much a lock now, which is fine by me. He's the closest in policy to Rudy who was my favorite.

I think Romney caused his own downfall in the elections. Instead of running as the moderate economist he is, he tried to paint himself as the social conservative, and that killed him in the polls as no one believed it. His exit speech was excellent, though, beyond the rediculous "marriage protection" amendment.

On a side note, my experiment as a registered Republican is about to end. Im so embarrassed by the way that the conservative commentators have reacted to McCain's ascension that I'll be an Independent again next election. It's shameful.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Ron Paul is a racist whack-job asshole. I always have to sneak that one in.
