I can’t say as I blame him.
My candidates never make it past the primaries. They are always too conservative. And the moderates always lose in the General elections. Ugh. (I was not registered to vote during the primary for the 2000 election. I don’t think I would have voted for W.)
I confess that I crossed over in 2004 and voted for John Kerry. I thought he was the worst candidate for the RATS.
Remember Rush's ‘Operation Chaos’ that year? Uh-huh....I voted for Hillary in the primary; open primary in Tennessee.
