So your personal belief was that McCain was worse than Slick Willard ? Yes.
I also agree with you that collecting signatures was a more official act than posting on this board. I only mention that because posting on this board appeared to be the issue you were addressing, specifically whether I posted on this board as a campaign worker for Romney, which I did not.
I can merely re-iterate that those of us collecting signatures for candidates on the committee did not consider that as "working for the campaigns", nor did the campaigns treat us as if we were volunteers for their campaigns.
But I don't have a problem with your opinion that collecting signatures was a form of work for the campaign, and it certainly was worth mentioning, which is why I mentioned it.
If it seems I am overly sensitive on the point, it's because local committees do sometimes have difficulties when the perception is that the people on the committee are working for individual candidates, rather than for republicans in general. So we tried really hard to be fair to all the candidates, and not give one or the other special treatment.
That did not stop me from skipping McCain's signature petition -- from a committee standpoint, I was not being a team player, but in spite of the opinion of some around here, I do have standards.

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
