Kathryn, Mona, of course, there are many good reasons for those on the right not to stay home/vote Democratic on election day (they can best (only?) be summarized as “lesser of two evils”), but what I find so intriguing are all these sudden requests that people worried about binge spending, the Bush mass immigration scheme, and, yes, even, the banning of internet gambling (to name but a few of the fiascos, insults and stupidities that have scarred recent years), should nevertheless go and and vote GOP. I’m not saying that’s wrong, but haven’t we been told repeatedy by the GOP barons that these issues don’t really swing voters? Has something changed, I wonder?

Could it be that they were utterly, humiliatingly and quite unecessarily, wrong?

Just asking.
