The president ran as a moderate. I'm always shocked when people say they don't know that. But when he first came to our town, I almost didn't go because I'm really not interested in moderates. Typically.
Not that the president is perfect, but anyone who didn't know what they were getting when they pulled the lever for Bush wasn't paying attention.
Certainly the second time anyway. But in any case, as we listen to the "ain't never gonna vote GOP again" crowd, I always wonder just where they are going to go. Perhaps they believe that Hillary or Kerry would have nominated Roberts and Alito....
