Dude, nobody's staying home, OK? Stop with the snob party-hack elitism.
This entire discussion would be moot anyway had the Republicans just stuck to a solid conservative agenda.
Dude, you are wrong. Of the ten, or so, conservative friends that I have living close by, two (that would be 20 percent) are staying home and they can't be convinced otherwise. They say that they want democrats to take control so that republicans get scared straight. Of course history shows that that is not what works - money works.
Stop with the head in the sand mentality. Every election the rock solid liberals stay home or vote Nader or some other clown, handing the elections to republicans. Conservatives are trying their best this election to hand the elections back.

I believe you are right on the money here. I too wil be voting Republican....but only because there is no one better in the races in my area.
I think a better term for the cut-n-runners would be the hold-n-my-noser's.
