Really? Since you only have one vote, can you really afford to say that? It always amazes me to see Republicans quickly dismissing other Republicans, only to advocate far-fetched positions to win over more Democrats. We will never be liberal enough for some people. They will pretend long enough to take advantage of us, but when it comes time to vote, they will still vote RAT. You might want to hang onto your friends, even if you have to hold your nose. We have no votes to spare.
Bush and Rove are not trying to win over democrats; they are trying to win over independents. Independent voters are the key to winning presidential elections. Look up Common Tator's posts to see his explanations of presidential electioneering. CT has long experience in political polling and analysis. He has taught me a lot.
