My goodness but we have some intellectual orators on this site! Joespoone and Tom Johnson; I'm impressed and I do enjoy reading your input to these discussions - I might also add that I do not agree 100% with what you say . My reason for entering this arena is to question one's reason for publicly professing their endorsement (ignorance) of a candidate no matter what the cost. Roj2000 and Doorsman54; I know you both better than you would care to know and I would have to say that I believe the SMALL SCREEN now known as the HD WIDE SCREEN has clouded your thought processes. Don't get me wrong - I am not endorsing Obama. I am just posing the question as to why seemingly intelligent people would openly endorse a candidate when there is obviously no reward for them. A new thought for discussion?
