I don't buy that most republicans you talked to feel that way. There's more to that story. We're pretty much the same all over the country. If they really felt that way... again... she would not have had to DROP OUT OF THE RACE. Most democrats I know wouldn't vote for a republican if their lives depended on it, and even then, they probably wouldn't do it.
I know you want to see this as a republicans are all nasty issue. The real issue is that it was liberal versus liberal, the voters obviously weren't happy with that singular choice, so someone else came along because he wasn't happy with that singular choice either, so he threw his hat into the ring.
He is in the "conservative party" because he had to choose a third party, you can't have two republicans and one democrat in a race.
We'll see what happens Tuesday. |
So you are saying that Republicans and Democrats never vote for people of the other party, unless deep down they are really not the party they claim to be?
