I can't think of a time in my lifetime where I would have voted for someone instead of against. As a matter of fact, even looking back across American history I can only name maybe 3 (Washington, Jefferson, FDR) I would have voted for, and even they did things I strongly disagreed with. Until the day I myself run, I suspect this will simply be reality.
Chalk it up to the fact that one really cannot approach the oval office without some pandering; some concessions; some hypocrisy. Until there's a revolution, this will be the case. The job requires ambition, and ambition has baggage.
Shoot, even when I voted for Cobb in 2004, I wasn't voting for someone that really inspired me.
