The fact that the entire civilized world has turned against George Bush makes me even more sure that he is doing God's work.

You say this as though you are actually going to carefully consider both candidates, their platforms, their potential, their strenghts and weaknesses.....all before voting Republican.

I think that the only starter and non starter for you is whether the name is followed by a D or an R.

Au contraire mon frere. I voted Clinton twice.

Unreal. That speaks both to his appeal and to the total destruction Bush has wrought on our foreign relations, which Germans appear to be reacting to now by supporting the opposition candidate.
Actual turnout estimate: 200,000.

Actually, now that I think about it I've only voted R once in a presidential election: Bush I in 1988. I now regret the Al Gore vote, but what's done is done. I actually liked Kerry and was disgusted by the way he was treated in that election.

Despite all my bluster I'm more of a centrist with conservative leanings on certain obvious issues.

Charismatic people tend to attract large crowds. And when they talk out of their hind ends, the crowds cheer and scream for more.
