Personally I don't expect much of politicians. I think by the time they're elected to any office of any importance they've likely sold out to the point they're not worthy of the position they've been elected. Yes, that includes Obama. He's done stuff I'm not thrilled with and he's not taken action on issues he promised he would. Do I prefer his policies over that of Bush, Cheney, McCain or Palin? Without a doubt.
I don't really see what this has to do with the thread.
Let me ask you a question. You seem to think it's the right thing for Palin to step down and I think you're saying, in your opinion, Hutchison's doing the right thing by stepping down to take a shot at another office, right? So if McCain/Palin had won would you be complaining that neither stepped down from their offices during the race? Or is it really basically as Rat said- Obama=bad?
