Richard Rushfield tried being a partisan Democrat in Republican territory, and a partisan Republican in Democratic territory. Result? Stares from Reps, and obscenities from Dems. His experiment touches on one of the reasons I will vote for Bush: Far too many anti-Bush forces have been behaving violently and shamelessly, and Senator Kerry has done little to denounce them. Heck, expert prevaricator Michael Moore received a seat of honor at the Democratic National Convention, right alongside the depressingly senile President Carter, and Kerry himself engages in desperate fearmongering (including the daft "Bush = draft"). I voted straight ticket Democrat in the last election, but with Kerry being a major letdown--to the extent that he must scrape the bottom of the barrel to round up enough votes to so much as tie his opponent during the media's polls--making one exception on my ballot this year strikes me as the wisest option. Count me among the ranks of split ticket voters.
