John McCain versus Barack Obama
I believe that John McCain is bad for the conservative movement. In order to stop this destruction of the traditional conservative cause, the best person to push out McCain is Barack Obama.
Obama has a sort of straight talker appeal and represents change more than McCain. Obama would be able to defend his small record to McCain's list of garbage votes: mostly inconsistent with that label conservative. Obama would certainly have a chance at kicking over McCain's dreams to gain power. This would save the traditional Republican Party of Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater by causing Republicans to rethink their path in the future.
Hillary Clinton versus Mitt Romney
I don't want McCain as president because, again he is a closet liberal/moderate. Republicans and Democrats will unite against Hillary Clinton and vote for McCain. She has too much baggage and represents the least change possible.
This leaves us with Mitt Romney, another closet liberal. The difference between Romney and McCain is that there is a chance that Romney actually has a conservative bone in his body. He voted very liberally as governor of Massachusetts but hopefully flip flopped to being a genuine conservative. This is all probability.
Because Hillary will probably give an incentive for people to unite against her in the general election, this gives Romney a chance.
Unfortunately, that is the compromise that I see as necessary to save the conservative cause. Either Barack Obama against McCain or Clinton against Romney.
