There is practically no dissention in the GOP. Just a few old guys that were far-leftist Republicans back in the day... or are still leftist (Chafee).

Democrats, on the other hand...

Hmmm... Care to test this theory?

Why don't you go over to the mock election page? Are there more Dems crossing over for Bush? Or Republicans crossing over for Kerry? Do the Dems or GOP have more people voting minor party?

lol, you're trying to take basically an Internet poll to mean it's fact....

Do I think it's representative of the whole nation? No. It obviously has way more members of the Libs and Constitution Party participating.

Is there any reason to believe the observation I made isn't true? This year more self-ID Republicans will vote Kerry than self-ID Dems will vote Bush.

Yeah. Because real polls show the opposite.

Lincoln Chafee said he wouldn't vote for Bush.

Great! The next step is have him actively campaign for Kerry, write a book smearing the Republican party, make a big speech at the DNC, etc. etc. etc.

That's former Senator Cook. She hasn't been a Senator since 1974.

Will Saletan? Saletan called Bush 'toast' in August 2000. He's been going on about Bush on Slate for close a year plus now.

Most of these are former office holders.

There's no obvious linking person on the site. I've never heard of any of these people.

Well I can't find it but it's kind of a joke anyway.  As far as I can see the House' are George Herbert Walker Bush's first cousins.  So it is either Prescott Sheldon Bush's or Dorothy (Walker) Bush's brother and sister.

Gary Coleman (of Diff'rent Strokes fame) and CA gubernatorial candidate in the special election of October 2003 is another.

Don't know about the 17 people who voted for him as governor, though.

Actually, a big speech endorsing Kerry at the RNC would have been a thousand percent better. Smiley

Trondheim, do endorsements really matter in your country?  If Angela were to suddenly endorse a socialist, would you give a rat's ass?  Would any German? 

Does all this seem silly to you?  Is the impression among German Leftists that endorsements go a long way in the USA?  I ask because, among other reasons, I do not believe that they do, although they do make for job security for the talking heads.  What are your impressions?
