1.- Vote for the presumptive candidate in November... PERIOD.. no questions asked. I don't have to give you reasons, even if I have given them to you already. Chiefly the USSC...

2.- Cross party lines and vote for McCain... I believe he will loose too since the country is truly fed up... and gingritch actually put it best, a disaster is a-waiting the GOP in November (and the House Members were told they were on their own)

3.- Write in your preferred candidate... which in-effect is number two

4.- Vote for a third party candidate... I will respect you for doing that... ok... after all I do believe we do need to change the system to allow third parties to play far more of a role.... and given the attitude vis a vis impeachment of my dem congress critter we will be doing exactly that in this house hold... we also know this is more of a protest vote and we hope she gets the message. And that message is... the US Constitution matters

5.- Stay home... seat this election out... not the first time or the last time that people do that. No harm no foul, and your decision truly.

These are truly your choices. And you can only reach whatever is your decision after you have some time to cool down and realize that yes, there is now a candidate... and it wasn't yours. Been there, done that this election... and I do understand how you feel... and I did not like either of the two last candidates

BUT... we never have perfect candidates. That is life.

So those are YOUR choices

For the record I am registered as an Indie (yes a signal to the state party after several votes in the house and the senate, my breaking point was... the credit tax give away)

I don't like either of these two centrists.. but I would be voting for Clinton in November... yellow dog and perhaps he'll turn into more of a progressive than his current voting record suggests he is (and the same goes for her) But HE IS the presumptive... the math is very clear and it is indeed over... thankfully over...

So it is time to act like an adult and if you are truly a democrat (ironic coming from an indie), you will do that

Oh and truth be told, the pain and hurt is such, that I cannot expect every one of you to overcome it. I just hope enough of you join the rest of us voting to elect Barack Obama President of the United States... four more years of Bush and this country will be done for. Yes, those are the stakes

That is all
