Cajun, I am *not* trying to spark a huge debate here (seriously!), but I'm just curious: why vote for someone just because they run on your "party" if you don't like them? A lot of mediocre candidates seem to stick around that way. I'm about as liberal as they get, but I still voted for a Republican here a couple of years ago because I agreed with him on more issues than I did the Democratic candidate. I think I voted for our secretary of state, too, or someone like that, and he's a Republican. If I really don't like either candidate, I'd rather write someone in than elect someone with whom I truly don't agree.

I just want to say I voted for Bush in 2000 primarily because of his friendship with Will Farish who is a good horseman. I was out of the country in 2004 and would not have voted for him.
