You can crack snide comments about it, but the reality is that there are significant numbers of "the base" who are very disappointed in Bush2/1.0
Some of them say they'll hold their noses and vote for him anyway. Some say they won't vote for him. Some tell us that they are undecided. Others (including myself) are of the belief that the secret ballot is a critical foundational element of any free society, and refuse to say how, or even if they will vote.
