I can see I'm about to have a new wardrobe! ;-) I just watched an Obama speech followed by a McCain speech - both after slamming their competition in 3 states. It was so obvious that Obama's going to eat McCain's lunch!! I don't think these crazy people are going to care that Obama leans so far left he can hardly walk. All they know if he makes them feel good. How scary for America! I love “Don’t blame me…I voted for Romney!” I can see I’m about to have a new wardrobe! ;-)

Now as a Romney supporter, it's obvious I've repented of my youthful transgression. Never the less, I remember during the Watergate era, there were bumper stickers and t-shirts available that read, "Don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts" (the only state that McGovern carried). What do you think of a bumper sticker this year that reads, "Don't blame me, I'm from Utah!", or "Don't blame me, I voted for Romney!". When McCain goes down in flames, that might have some real marketing potential... In 1972, I was a foolish Sophomore Democrat at BYU (one of about two…) and proudly voted for McGovern.

I love it. Seriously, I think you could sell those shirts. To "literally" wear your conservatism on your sleeve. What does everybody else think of the marketing potential of a shirt like that? Jan Myers,

I intend to vote for Mitt. What I'd really like to do is create a long-sleeved shirt to wear over jeans. The front and back would say something like "ROMNEY REPUBLICAN" and "I wear my conservatism on my sleeve". Running down each sleeve would be the word "conservatism". Anybody else want one?

I am losing about half of the people whose opinions I respected. I believe Reagan said he didn't change, the party left him (speaking of the Democrat party before he switched). Now the McCain faction would have that happen here. "We must support McCain or the Democrats will win!" "The sky is falling, the sky is falling". Yes Chicken Little, the sky is falling. The Republican turncoats would have us turn to liberal causes so that the Liberals don't win. What would be the difference then? The label of the authors of the demise? Goodbye to all those who would join the McCain bandwagon to keep from losing. When you do, you have already lost. The only way to win with McCain would be for him to morph into conservative positions rather than to demand the for the sake of party unity that we accept his. Is there a chance of that? It's up to him. - P As I look at the McCain thing come together (to the extent that it will), I’m disappointed to find that many people I respected as “Reagan Republicans” are, or have become blind party supporters and are willing to change their values and degrade the party for what they hope will be a win over the Democrats.

After all, they have had their chance for 8 years, now lets give someone else a chance. Barak, because he's done, well, nothing. Hillary, because she's done, well, nothing! It doesn't matter. I'm giving credit where I think it's due. Face it, this will be the year of the ANTI Bush vote, just like Jimmy weakdick Carter got in as the anti-Nixon vote, Hilliry/Obama will get the anti Bush, anti war, anti Iraq vote. (maybe it is better if it isn't Mitt that takes the hit) What a way to run a country, but I have one underlying principle to go by, "never underestimate the power of human stupidity".
