I think that the most important piece of evidence that the Repub voters know that they're really gonna take it in the ass this cycle is that they don't even bother trying to defend McSame...they know that his "maverick" status is about as solid as smoke in the breeze, and that there is no way in hell we are going to re-elect Bush for a third term in the form of an old man with questionable ethics suffering from PTSD.

To that end, they keep talking about how bad both candidates are, how there are no choices this time, and about voting for Ron Paul...

When you hear progressives speak, they talk about Obama.

When you hear Obama speak, you hear about what Obama wants to do.

When you hear conservatives speak, they are either talking about Obama or telling you about how bad both the candidates are.

When you hear McSame speak, you hear more about Obama.

That phenomena speaks louder than anything else.

I agree with Steve that there are some local Reps that I'll vote for (already voted for a few by way of my absentee primary ballot sent in last week), but on a federal level I wouldn't vote for one of 'em even if they were running against Genghis Khan...who by any measure is a moderate compared to the knuckleheads running the Republican party.

Fish on...
