"defacto" "arranged marriage". We have not met the groom or fallen in love with him. Some of us are marrying him just out of "family obligation".And this can be tough to do.

Someone once said that Democrats have to "fall in love" with their candidates and the GOP just vote for them. This appears to be the case.

I did not fall "in love" with Obama. I admit I don't even "like him". He was originally third and ended up not even on my list of primary considerations But he has a "D" after his name.The nominee will get my vote but I won't "bear his children".LOL!

But as with any relationship, I will reserve the right to complain when he has been, in my opinion, WRONG. And I fully assume that what I think about those issues probably won't matter to him or the campaign no matter how furious is my keyboard. But I will have exercised my right to disagree!
