16. Look at Obama's success -- people just want leadership
Especially the hard-core Red-Staters. Most of the Rethug voters are SHEEP, pulled in by charismatic or authoritarian leaders. Look at how many of the idiots are flocking to Obama (not saying that's a bad thing, but they're drawn to the show, not the substance).

I've heard many, many hard-core Repugs say they'd have no problem voting for a liberal like Moynihan or Feingold or Wellstone who sticks to their guns (no pun intended). What they hate is weakness. And pandering. And cowardice.

And so do I.
