I’ll second that motion:

Like Orin, I’m supporting McCain for the Republican nomination. I disagree with him strongly about campaign finance reform and a few other issues. But he’s taken the right stands, roughly speaking, on many other important matters, like national security, Iraq, torture, immigration, and fiscal responsibility. On federalism grounds, he’s also opposed (and twice voted against) the Federal Marriage Amendment, a costly stand for a Republican presidential contender. I also think he’s the one candidate in both parties who has sufficient credibility on security and military issues to end or modify Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and I detected somewhat lukewarm and perfunctory support for it in his answers on the question during the debates. Nobody’s perfect, but his heart and mind seem closest to my own on most of the issues that matter most to me in this election.
