(1,443 posts)and the pro-WC candidate would be telling his/her dispirited supporters that they fought the good fight.
So what? This isn't an election. Even if it were, do you always respect the majority candidate in an election? Should the 30% in Louie Gohmert's district who didn't vote for him not call him a fringe lunatic because 70% of his constituents voted for him? How about the 44% of Texas voters who didn't back Ted Cruz?
And as long as we're talking about polls, how about the majority of Americans who said in April that they would vote for Reagan (!) over Obama?

Should we stop calling Reagan a right-wing nut? I sure as hell won't.
