It’s Super Tuesday
Well, I finally made up my mind. Tomorrow in the Tennessee primary, I will cast my vote for Mitt Romney. As I take my right and privilege to vote seriously, I studied all the candidates with great zeal. In the end, my two choices were Mitt Romney and John McCain.
To be honest, I am not sure that either of these two gentleman are the best that America has to offer. Yet, these are the only two that have a realistic chance of winning the Republican nomination. Both have qualities that I admire, such as McCain’s military service and Romney’s executive experience. Yet, I feel that Romney is a stronger conservative, at least in his rhetoric.
As for their positions on healthcare, I can’t say I am completely comfortable with either. McCain seems to not really know that much about the subject and Romney’s plan in Massachusetts has had marginal success. The good news is that both don’t desire government programs such as Hillary’s or Obama’s.
So, tomorrow night I will be kicked back in my chair watching the results role in. At the least, it’s always fun to watch American politics in action. If you want to share your thoughts on who you voted for and why, I would love to see your comments.

One thing I have to give McCain credit for is having gone through some pretty hardcore events in his life. More specifically I’m talking about his time in Vietnam. Not only was he a POW but he was also a part of the Forrestal aircraft carrier explosion which is considered to be one of the worst disasters in US naval history. He has seen a lot and if elected would be one of the older presidents in office.
Romney on the other hand does offer a different outlook. I think the country could benefit from his business background. It is very possible that he’ll defeat McCain in Tennessee, but nationwide I still think McCain is probably going to get the nomination.
Assuming he does get the nomination and Obama gets the Democratic nomination, we’ll be in a situation where the country will either end up with one of the oldest presidents elected or one of the youngest.
