I think it’s a logical working definition.
I’m a registered Republican, I’ve never voted for a ‘rat. And voting 3rd party hasn’t gotten us anywhere, except stuck with a democrat in office. So, I pull the lever for the R. Call it a character flaw.
So, you'd vote for Al Gore if he put an "R" next to his name?
I'd call that something other than a charachter flaw.
