Commenter metrico suggests<\/a> that I’m setting up for a public switch from Obama to McCain in the hopes of an Instalanche (dude, I’m not nearly that cheap…). I kind of liked my reply<\/a>, so thought I’d promote it:<\/p>\n

hey, metrico – bite me. That’s all the answer your insult deserves.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s kinda funny – I get about a dozen emails a week from R’s who push me to come over to their side – they make arguments, suggestions, and at worst gently mock me. I get about as many from the D side – who want me to get the hell out of their party and make that desire really really clear.<\/p>\n

\nI’m kind of reminded of the line from ‘High Fidelity’:<\/p>\n

<\/i>“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was classified information. I mean, I know we don’t have any customers, but I thought that was a bad thing, not like, a business strategy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I always thought the goal was to grow the party and win elections by big margins, not purify it in the cleansing fire of our righteousness.<\/p>\n

\nObviously, metrico, we ought to belong to different parties. I suggest you leave.<\/p>\n
