Locally, it's looking better and bettter in being GDI, God-Damned Independant. A number of my Republican friends are making noises about joining. Even those who are because they're "Small Gov't" are having a hard time swallowing that it's OK to bail out mega-corps but not small businesses and hard working folks who got screwed BY mega corps and Wall Street.
I admit, it's more work. After all, you actually have to find out what each candidate and measure is/about, not just take an "approved" list to the Voting booth. This, sad to say might be enough to keep a few from changing, God/dess Love'm.
As slow as Obama's gov't was and how much it's cozy collusion with BP, folks "dun hyar" have long memories(many consider "The War of Northen Aggression" simply in a time-out") and Bush's behavior with 'Katrina' hasn't been forgiven. And sadly, folks here are so used to looking to "their Betters" that they understand Obama turning to "the Experts" in Oil....
Cheers,
Pat
