[N. Theknow]

Well, I wouldn't put a Romney bumper sticker on my car.

But an ABO sticker is not out of the question.

To date, I have voted in 11 Presidential elections.

ONLY twice, have I voted FOR a candidate rather than voting against a candidate.

And like that candidate, I left the Democrats when he ran. Even though I voted Republican in '68, '72 and '76; I remained a registered Democrat until 1980.

And I continually shake my head at why more politicians don't run for the office the way Ronald Reagan did.

Reagan was a Nolan Ryan fastball, straight and direct, and everybody else has run like a Phil Niekro knuckleball, floating around all over the place.

Our histories are similar, except I voted for Humphrey in 1968. The single time I voted Republican for President AND felt good about it was in 1984, and then sorta good in 2008. So, I have been un-thrilled with Republican party Presidential candidates for most of my voting life but I've gone along with the flow...until now.

As for this part of your post: ...and everybody else has run like a Phil Niekro knuckleball, floating around all over the place....I disagree. Niekro was very effective with his Ali approach (float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.) but the other Republican Presidential candidates have been ineffective and so very unworthy of our heartfelt support, IMHO.
