I hope that he gets pulled aside and can be convinced that he'll do more harm than good for his precious GOP.

And the 2010 and 2012 elections are going to need more than just party loyalty to bring out majorities. Contra McCain and the centrist faction of the GOP, a lot of districts are going to need movement conservative candidates to attract tea party and fiscally conservative independents. It's hard for me to see now who the GOP has in its bench who can do that, but it is early and there's time to see what shakes out.

This is why I like this site. I am an Obama supporting, pro-gun liberal Dem, but I just shake my head whenever I hear dinosaurs like Pelosi or Schumer talk. Good to see some conservatives call out the dolts in their own party. Oh, (not so much to you, but to your readers), yes you can be an Obama supporter and a gun rights supporter. On that issue, I feel he is too smart of a politician to do anything stupid. Thank you. This is why I like this site.

Not that I want him to win. But I'm just saying that the youth vote really doesn't matter that much since they don't tend to show up on a regular basis.

I only know one thing about the man - and that's what his last name means on urbandictionary.com. That will be the case for much of the twenty-something demographic.
