I would gladly cast a vote for a practical fiscal conservative, but I would never vote for the Republican Party as it is right now: pandering to Christofascists, anti-science, anti-intellectual. I mean, Sarah Palin - come on now! Even at this point I would consider voting for McCain had he not chosen that narrow-minded divisive woman! But I wonder, can the GOP really divorce itself from its far-right bigoted base? If not, we need a new "Bull Moose"-style party.

Sorry, but that is crap. Gore won the popular vote and clearly more people in Florida intended to vote for him than for Bush. In 2004 Kerry did better than any candidate in our history running against a sitting president during wartime. And, again, likely won in Ohio. The great Republican tidal wave was a lie the media ran with. The wins were not from a groundswell but from clever deceptive transitory political machinations. “Four years ago, Republicans appeared poised to remain in power for a generation while Democrats wallowed in the morass of old ideas and shredded credibility.
