>>>all these things are a symptom of the bigger problem, party over principle.<<<

Party IS our principle.
This election has national ramifications, considering the electoral votes in 2004.

I voted for Simon because of the R in front of his name.
His campaign was weak and he looked like a linguini leader.

That's just sad....

Tell me doodlelady. If we are to return to a Constitutional government, as the 'conservative' movement used to argue for, which is better? Voting for someone because they have a letter by their name or voting for someone based on what they profess to believe is the proper role of the national and state government?

How, exactly? The electoral votes have absolutely nothing to do with who the governor is.
