I spoke with a UW republican today and asked her about her plans for tomorrow's primary. She, as many other Republicans I've talked with have said that they know John McCain will be the Republican nominee, but that they will still support their number ones. Many also reveal that they feel McCain has moved too far to the center and is not as conservative as they'd like.

They know that McCain will likely pull in more independents, but to them, voting for Mitt Romney, even though he's out of the running, or Mike Huckabee is a better idea. Some feel it will help make a point, maybe show McCain he should try to move his position back toward the right and show his conservative side more.

"I will still be casting my vote for Mitt Romney," college Republican Stephanie Fleisher said. "John McCain is obviously going to be the one to get the Republican nomination. I don't 100 percent agree with him because he's more liberal in his views, but I'll support him when the time comes. I really like Mitt Romney for his values and ideals, but he's too conservative for most people, a lot want someone who is more in the middle and that would appeal to both sides."

Another local voter expressed a similar opinion, but in reference to Mike Huckabee.

"I would like to see delegates sent out for Huckabee. He is much more conservative, and though McCain will be the one left standing, I believe we're deciding on the various shades," the voter said.

Some believe that delegates should still be sent for who they really believe in, even though the choice will not lead to a nomination. Others realize and take into account that we send our delegates to vote at the state platform.

"I think we want to decide whether we want to push the state to be more socially conservative, more fiscally conservative or more moderate. You want to decide where you want to go or where you want whoever you're going to vote for to push for, for the state platform," another Republican voter said.

Whether you vote for McCain or go for Ron Paul just because you really believe in him, it's good that we have that choice. At this point it's no longer strategy or reaching out for the Republicans, it's more, vote for whoever you feel truly supportive of even though in the back of your mind you know that McCain will be the contender left.

All of the Republicans I have spoken with are at peace with the fact McCain will be the nominee, even if he's not their first choice. It's a completely different story for the Democrats. The Democrats pretty much have to choose Clinton or Obama, more people are strongly for one or the other. Even if you still wanted to support John Edwards you would feel the need to pick either Clinton or Obama to support, as your second choice could make the difference in the neck and neck race.
