No, you shouldn’t give up. You should support your guy. However, you should do it on threads that promote your guy rather than threads that are about another guy.
Many things are different about this election. I do contend that having won a statewide election is rather important. If a candidate can’t deliver his/her home state, he/she is not going to stand much of a chance in the general. That’s true about Al Gore and John Edwards as well.
I made a light-hearted joke that Thompson might be a good VP for Duncan Hunter, and never said anything bad about Thompson.
Sometimes we need to take a moment to smile.
