It's looking more and more like Palin and The Old Dude '08 and here's a reason...

Jon, so let me understand this. Are you saying that the Ds lost the
last 2 elections because some "typical Dem's" said that the average
voter is not fully informed?

No, I'm saying that their disdain for the average American shows
through at stump time, and the average American doesn't like being
talked down to that way. E.g, the bitter clinging to God and guns
comment.

Things might be bad enough this time around that they win, but that
it's even a race ought to be telling to the Democratic party...

Why did you vote for Shrub?

Didn't know you could hack in to election records. I've voted split
ticket at the _federal_ level for as many elections as I can remember,
and IIRC I've never told anyone but family who I've voted for...I'm
not about to start affirming or denying now...either party is welcome
to blame the mess on me! :-)

Jon.
PS: And in most elections I'd much rather just vote none of the above,
as I feel I'm really just trying to pick the lesser of two evils.

Amongst the elitist, disdainful Americans I know who actually
have family/friends of the god and guns variety the typical
first reaction was "Oh my gawd, that is *so* spot on" followed
soon thereafter by a simple, "Oh my gawd". Yeah, the Dems have
got to find some amiable dunces, like Reagan and Shrub, and get
over this annoying propensity to nominate folks with, you know,
functioning brains.

Er, yeah...among the God and guns crowd, the use of the phrase "that is
*so* spot on..." is only exceeded by the use of the phrase, "Good lord,
Liz, I should expect that the Queen of England would not be so gauche as
to pass the port to starboard...Phil, would you mind awfully backhanding
yo bitch..."

No, what you said was that those who didn't vote for Bush deserve him and
those who did don't.

It's always a race, moron.

Ah, the courage of one's convictions! How refreshing.

And you're not about to give anyone the benefit of your insight into which
that would be......right? Wouldn't want to exert undue influence on the
what is supposed to be a free electorate, huh?
