Feb 2012

Could it be a dejected voting population, that doesn't like the choices at the GOP buffet?

Could it be that a lot of Republicans have enjoyed reversals of fortune, like job layoffs, under-employment, foreclosure, and are starting to realize the the GOP won't give them a damn thing, least of all a hand?

Could it be they're rejecting the Tea Party craziness at long last?
