Oh sheesh stop the old and tired "battered wife" syndrome malcontent arguement.
If you would actually look at recent Califonia election results, it is the "death before electiblity" Republicans who are the battered ones.
Lundgren in 98, and Simon running against an inept Davis in 02.
BTW, steve it seems that you are the one, you wishes to get "battered" again, IMO.
But you can always say to yourself, "I have a black eye and loss in the electoral arena", but I have my pride.
JMO, but it seems you get an mental orgasm on that type of rhetoric.
