So... I guess you can vote for this woman because you can't stand Reid or you can vote for Reid because you can't stand this woman. They are one in the same. But you say that people should continue voting for a person that they can't stand, just because the alternate is something they don't know and probably more "extreme?"

People constantly talk about voting for the lesser of two evils. Some people think she is a lesser of those two evils. People thought the same thing in 2004 when they voted for Kerry (who lost) and many thought the same in 2008 when Obama won. Those are all crazy stupid people, too?

I really don't get it. In 2008 everyone was on board with Hope, Change, and drastic changes. Now a few Tea Party folk make a run, that will most likely never turn into anything substantial at all, and "oh my God, idiots everywhere!"

People are pissed off. Still. If you don't like your politician, you vote them out. That's how it works. A lot of times the alternate really sucks. You piss your people off enough, regardless of how terrible the alternate is, you get booted. Mike Castle learned that the hard way, Reid made it through... now you have to wonder if he will make changes or stay the same. My guess is stay the same and retire in six years. Not a bad option for him. Shitty for the people.
