Endorsement
Posted at 4:02pm on Feb. 1, 2008 Quibbling with McCain
I Will Vote For Romney. For Now.
By California Yankee
I've been writing about the 2008 presidential campaign since April 2005. During that entire time I have been determined to remain uncommitted. I thought that would make for more objective observations about the campaign. It is also an admission that no candidate came along, whom I felt compelled to support.
As the number of possible nominees has dwindled, especially with Fred and Rudy proving that you can't leave the field to opponents and still prevail, I tried to warm up to Senator McCain. After McCain's South Carolina and Florida victories, it is clear he has again attained the dreaded status of front runner.
Embracing McCain ought to be easy for a security voter like me. If your main issue is victory in the War the Islamic Extremists are waging against us, supporting McCain should not be a difficult thing.
Yet I have quibbles with Senator McCain. And they're not going away, even with the Florida results and the Giuliani and Schwarzenegger endorsements.
Read on.

By California Yankee
The Weekly Standard reports Connecticut's Independent Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman will endorse Republican John McCain for president.
Coupled with today's newspaper endorsements, Lieberman's backing improves the odds for McCain's resurgent campaign. New Hampshire is critical for McCain:
"We've got to win New Hampshire," he says, or at least exceed expectations there. "And then I think we can do well in South Carolina. In South Carolina we've got the base this time.
Some might wonder if Lieberman is looking for a cabinet position. I think Lieberman's endorsement has more to do with both Senators steadfastness on the war.
