Yeah I was gonna pick between the 3 front-runners. I was swayed by Romney’s bought and paid for support from prominent conservative sources and fear of a McLame victory. If anyone was gonna beat McCain in Illinois it was Myth. I had some cognitive dissonance cause I knew about Romneycare but I didn’t learn of the totality of his horrible record until later when his lying supporters flooded FR in the run up to get McCain to pick him as VP.
I’d have casted a pointless vote for Thompson if I could do it again. McCain/Romney/Huck was like choosing between poisons.
I didn’t even get to cast a primary vote. Thompson withdrew before he made it to TN, and as I said quite loudly at the time, not a one of the remaining candidates were either viable, accomplished, qualified or honest about their “Conservative” stances. I was right.
“Choosing between poisons” - well put.
“Not a one of the remaining candidates were either viable...” - sadly right.
A potted plant would have made a better candidate.
RE: Needham. The property tax bills with the new rates have come out over the last month. People here are sh*tting their pants over the increases. Even in Needham, the ‘beautiful’ people are saying “enough”. The switch was a result of that IMO.
