A few "misunderestimated" how "excited" the base would get.
I have to agree. I found myself deeply angered to see my party, which I have supported both electorally and financially for so long, turn against me for a moment of perceived political advantage and demonstrate that they would negate my living will in a heartbeat and send me to the nursing home for endless years of imprisonment.
I admit I still haven't recovered. I haven't worn my "W" baseball cap since he signed the midnight bill to try (ultimately unsuccessfully) to manipulate the case. The MSM may be right; I think Rove may have 'misunderestimated' the depth of the division in the base over this. They need to read FR.
