US voters' views 2008: Republicans

In the run-up to the most hotly contested US presidential election in years we are asking panels of BBC News website readers to share their opinions and views.

Here, Republican voters from across the US share their views ahead of the party's convention.

S Cramer Manassas, Virginia "McCain is strong and his intentions honest" Jason Rodriguez Dallas, Texas "We should move away from foreign oil" A Economos New York "The convention is key to reviving the party" Philip Leiter Minnesota "This is a chance for the party to get its message out"

Geoffrey Nolan Miami, Florida "McCain is the least worst option this year" Jill Putnam Cleveland, Georgia "My belief in the Bible informs my politics" A Delaforte Troy, Michigan "The party should work for smaller government" E Lamasney Renton, Washington "I have never voted Republican before"

The readers' panel has been selected from as wide a cross-section of people as possible and may not be representative of wider US public opinion.
