By this, ye shall know that a Democrat is among you.
It's simple: Real Democrats vote Democrat because they are pragmatists who weigh the good of the country against the Tiger Beat he's-so-dreamy swoon of personality and act accordingly. I've never voted for a Republican (or any except a Democrat) in a state or national election. (No Green Party bullshit for this little piggy!) And though Hillary's comportment in this campaign has caused me to slide from mild unease to outright dislike and incredulity, I would, indeed, hold my nose and vote for her come November if I had to. Because I WOULD have to, wouldn't I...I'm a Democrat.
If you would vote for McCain over Obama, you're not a Democrat. You may be an Independent with a poor grasp of the issues (a low information voter?) or, as many of the most hateful repeat posters are here, a Repug plant to stir chaos. But you're most assuredly NOT a Democrat.
And thanks, Hutman, for that how-to on anti-Obamaism, as well as the explication of the Rove M.O. (was that Sugarman?) I've been thinking much the same...good to see it articulated.
