I think it should have been my guy, too.

Karol has started a series of entries on her blog featuring people who have had to face the reality that their chosen candidate didn't make it. 

- Karol explains her transition from "anybody but McCain" to McCain.

- Guest blogger Todd Seavy explains his switch from NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani to Bob Barr.

- A former Romney staffer follows his old boss' lead and supports Sen. John McCain.

- A Paulbot comes to grips with the fall of the rEVOLution, and embraces Bob Barr.  (Barr's level of Jew-hatred isn't where it needs to be, but he's making peace with that.  I keed, I keed.)

- A FredHead from SavetheGOP.com stumps for McCain.

My guy was Rudy Giuliani.  I was with him from January 2007.  It was in that month that I made my first ever donation to a political campaign.  I briefly volunteered for his campaign in Virginia, before I had to move back to Kentucky in October.  His campaign began crumbling shortly thereafter, I like to think it was because I was no longer working for him.  I even kept the bumper sticker on my car until he officially bowed out after the Florida primary.

Right now I plan on voting for Sen. McCain in the fall.  There are only two things that could change that.  First, if McCain chooses to be a mavericky maverick and choose a maverick vice president like Gov. Charlie Crist or (God forbid) Sen. Joe Lieberman he loses my vote.  Second to that would be a move to Washington, DC.  Living in a city that votes 90% Democrat is freeing that way.  I could vote for Bob Barr without feeling I was helping a Marxist like Obama get into office.  (So if you are in a position to hire someone in DC, hint hint.)

I don't know about you all, but I'm ready for 2012.

1 Let me put it this way; if I decide before November 1, it will be to say, "Fuck them all," and write in Zombie Reagan.  The RepubicRAT half of the bipartisan Party-In-Government is bound and determined to commit suicide-by-voter, and the DhimmiRAT half wants a Communist caliphate.

Wow IV,D, who knew you were an optimist.

As if we're all gonna be alive in 2012.

And if you move to DC, I would suggest VA. DC is a nice place to visit, but it's entirely too expensive to live there.

3 I've been whining "is this election over yet" since 2006.  Longest.  Election.  Ever. 

Zombie Reagan ftw!

I did the whole living in NoVA thing when I was interning in DC.  I ended up with an hour commute both ways.  All I wanted to do after work was get home, be lazy, and then go to bed at 10pm at the latest.  That's not me at all.  I'm thinking if I could sell my car and live in the district I'd have a better social life. 

But if I had a family, I'd definitely at least be in Arlington, if not Fairfax again.

I live in Old Town Alexandria and like it.

Of course, I work in Old Town too (or at least, on the edge of Old Town).

But don't take me for an example, I had a life once, but then I turned 30.

7 Haha.  Yeah, Old Town is nice, too.  But when I was in Fairfax I never made it to DC just for fun.  It always seemed like such a huge chore.
