John McCain won the Florida GOP primary.

Damn.

So, what next? Well, barring some monumental shift towards Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday I expect that John McCain will be the GOP nominee for President of the United States. It gives me great pains to even consider that thought, much less come to the conclusion that it is really going to happen. I hope I am wrong. I want to be wrong. But the writing is clearly on the wall. And with the MSM salivating over John McCain and giving him a free pass to write his own script I don't think I am.

I have now made up my mind that I will be casting a write in vote for Fred Dalton Thompson in both the Texas primary and the general election. Texas won't be a swing state. It will support the Republican nominee. So, I have some comfort in knowing that my vote will not allow the Democrats to take control of the White House and abandon Iraq (the one and only issue that could have compelled me to consider voting for McShamnesty).

But I just cannot support John McCain for President of the United States. He is antithetical to nearly everything that I believe in. He does not represent Republican values. And he most certainly does not represent conservative values. His record as a United States Senator has made that abundantly clear.

So, I am voting for Fred!

Wake me in 2012. I hope I like the choices better in four years.
