Seriously, congratulations. Too many people in this world want to shout down anyone who disagrees with them, too few are prepared to actually do some of the decidedly unsexy work that is required to keep democracy running well. Well done for not simply taking the easy way out & yelling at the TV (well done also for beating out Ron Paul supporters - they seriously creep me out).

I suspect that your man is the only serious Republican candidate with a snowball's chance in hell of beating either Hilary or Obama. I actually quite like McCain (thus confirming all that Blues & Dale think about him). I am fine with his position on Iraq, I was impressed by his stand on torture & I am impressed by the way he is prepared to make his own decisions, even at the risk of alienating others. To say he would be a vast improvement over the incumbent is to understate the case considerably.
SEE, 'Duke? I mean, I know that by this time you're so invested that there's no talking you out of what you're determined to inflict on the country, but surely THIS is enough to trouble you. Isn't there a little tickle in the back of your mind that makes you think again about your actions/presumptions/aspirations? It's like you're interviewing somebody for a job as a bank teller, and seeing on his resume a recommendation a reference from a convicted embezzler.

I've never felt so doomed in my life. Whatever happens in November, conservatives will lose, because we don't have a candidate in the race.
