  • I think my hardcore Republican father is voting Badnarik (Libertarian)this year.
  • Q: What's the difference between the Vietnam War and the Iraq War? A: George W. Bush had a plan to get out of the Vietnam War. via defective yeti
  • I am a conservative against Bush and it is my sense there are a hell of a lot of us. If you go to Andrew Sullivan's blog (andrewsullivan.com) he takes great delight in linking to other like-minded folks. Those of us jumping ship are mostly from the libertarian/conservative branch of the party.
  • Republicans endorsing John F. Kerry. Democrats endorsing George W. Bush. Comprehensive (print-) media endorsement tally. Of the major conservative blogs, so far only Volokh and Instapundit have endorsed Bush. Many others—D. Adesnik and J. Chafetz of OxBlog; D. Drezner; J. Treacher; and some others I've lost track of—have come out in favour of Kerry. Plenty of them haven't explicitly endorsed any candidate, but it is a fair bet that they'll vote for Bush. I am not aware of any left-leaning or Democratic blogger to come out in favour of Bush.
  • My republican parents are going to split. Dad will vote for Kerry or not at all, mom will vote for Bush.
  • My uncle, who has been a democrat for decades, is planning to vote for Bush. I think this is due to spending too much time with his new friend Patrick J. Michaels, a global-warming denier. Are there any monkeys in climate research who can tell me if Pat Michaels is off his rocker? I'd love to be able to send my uncle some references about why Michaels is wrong, but climatology is not my area, and I have no idea what the good journals are.
  • I know 2 republicans who are going to vote against Bush: me and my wife. I haven't ever voted democrat for a national/house/senate office (though I have for some state/local offices), until now, and gladly I'll do it, because Bush is a failure according to nearly every single measure by which I assess a president.
