My wife and I both supported Obama, I less so after the FISA reversal. We had an Obama sign in our yard, and my wife pounded the pavement for him. At election time, I thought he was a bit of a stinker, but still better than the others. I thought Hillary was too much of a republican and a hawk. Well, she is, but she's nowhere close to Obama's league. Oh, and we both voted in 2010 (against republicans, of course.) So how do I vote against a republican in 2012? Obama can (and does) out republican most of the morons with a R after their name.

New Thanks. I understand the disappointment.
Imagine if you had Jim Webb and Mark Warner as your senators. ;-)

Hang in there.

Cheers,
Scott.

                     Hey... how many times... - (folkert) - (6) - July 16, 2012, 05:52:32 PM EDT

                                     I can agree with that... - (folkert) - July 17, 2012, 08:34:50 AM EDT
                                     "real leadership"? - (crazy) - July 17, 2012, 09:41:06 AM EDT

                         We've been through this ad nauseum... - (Another Scott) - July 16, 2012, 07:14:55 PM EDT
                     See what happens when you let the option on the table? - (mmoffitt) - (27) - July 16, 2012, 07:03:41 PM EDT
                         States are free to implement single payer if they want. - (Another Scott) - (26) - July 16, 2012, 07:20:50 PM EDT
                             You've never been more wrong. - (mmoffitt) - (25) - July 16, 2012, 08:24:23 PM EDT
                                 You do understand that Obama isn't king, right? - (Another Scott) - (24) - July 16, 2012, 10:00:58 PM EDT
                                     Well, then, similarly - (hnick) - (21) - July 17, 2012, 07:22:16 AM EDT

                                                         So, can you or Scott help me out here? - (mmoffitt) - (9) - July 18, 2012, 09:22:41 AM EDT
                                                             Obama isn't the problem - Congress is the problem. HTH. - (Another Scott) - (4) - July 18, 2012, 10:08:42 AM EDT
                                                                 The question remains. - (mmoffitt) - (3) - July 18, 2012, 11:34:05 AM EDT
                                                                     We'll see in November. I'm optimistic myself. YMMV. ;-) -NT - (Another Scott) - (2) - July 18, 2012, 11:44:19 AM EDT
                                                                         See post below. Either way, we all lose. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (1) - July 18, 2012, 01:33:54 PM EDT
                                                                             Meh. -NT - (Another Scott) - July 18, 2012, 01:40:00 PM EDT
                                                             Actually no - (crazy) - (3) - July 18, 2012, 10:57:24 AM EDT
                                                                 The "portion" was the determining factor. - (mmoffitt) - (2) - July 18, 2012, 01:31:40 PM EDT
                                                                     IIRC, you didn't expect him to win IN in the first place. - (Another Scott) - (1) - July 18, 2012, 01:54:28 PM EDT
                                                                         No dispute. I did not think he would win in 2008. - (mmoffitt) - July 18, 2012, 03:03:50 PM EDT
                                             I suppose that's good to know. - (hnick) - (5) - July 17, 2012, 08:45:20 AM EDT
                                                 Reread DeLong's recent post. - (Another Scott) - (4) - July 17, 2012, 09:16:49 AM EDT
                                                     I remain sceptical - (hnick) - (3) - July 17, 2012, 10:20:54 AM EDT
                                                         Who would have been your candidate in 2008? - (Another Scott) - (2) - July 17, 2012, 10:41:41 AM EDT
                                                             Serious answer - (hnick) - (1) - July 17, 2012, 11:11:54 AM EDT
                                                                 Thanks. I understand the disappointment. - (Another Scott) - July 17, 2012, 11:17:13 AM EDT
                                     Really? I thought he could kill people whenever he wanted. - (mmoffitt) - (1) - July 17, 2012, 08:19:03 AM EDT
                                         <sigh> -NT - (Another Scott) - July 17, 2012, 09:17:11 AM EDT
         That's a crock - (crazy) - (4) - July 16, 2012, 10:44:32 AM EDT
             So, she should ... - (mmoffitt) - (3) - July 16, 2012, 04:16:05 PM EDT
                 The PPACA is much better than nothing - (malraux) - (1) - July 16, 2012, 06:03:47 PM EDT
                     We'll see. I doubt it. -NT - (mmoffitt) - July 16, 2012, 06:46:41 PM EDT

Anytime I tell a client that "Oh no, those computers just change settings and delete things" instead of "You're a moron, and should be entrusted with nothing more complex than a crayon and an Etch-A-Sketch.", I'm lying.
