There was so little difference between the R and D candidates as to be negligible. This is usually the case. Two big-government candidates from the two halves of the Incumbent party arguing over who has the best government programs. When Republicans start offering real small-government candidates who will stand their ground and not cowtow and pander like a political whore to every special interest group who promises campaign contributions, and who will actually deliver on their endless promises to reduce government, then maybe they'll start winning back people like me. Until then they will continue losing elections.
I just don't have any time to devote to those who have opted out.
