There are a few decent Dems; they are rare and far between; but the Great Ronald Reagan was originally a Democrat.
But, there are Libertarians and Independants who could gather a few votes if they came down hard on the illegal immigrant issue.
No (or little) doubt about that. I voted for McGovern just after my 18th, and then later I voted for Carter twice. I had been working long hours on the night shift, and I had little kids. I had no time to really pay attention to things.
Years later, I saw the 1984 Mondale abomination of a campaign, and I was absolutely horrified by the POS Dikakis in 1988.
I have never voted for a Democrat since 1980, and other than "W" in 2004 I have never voted for a single incumbent for any office since 1980. I'm still pissed about my Perot vote in 1992.
I am simply for the last twenty or so years, an angry white male.
