Reply #58: I think you touch on a big part of it Nadienne [View All]

part of it is simply fear, fear of GWB, of what is happening in the country and world, fear of losing, and fear of the future, and part of it is a dark, quiescent, niggling, and largely suppressed realization that they are selling out the better angels of their nature to see that GWB gets defeated. They is an unwelcome "knowledge that their own candidate is short of the mark" or has left the race, and this rankles and creates resentment; if they must choose what they don't really want for what is seen as the good of the country, then it doesn't necesaarily feel good to be reminded of it.

Then there are others who simply don't like DK for one reason or another; you'll hear more from them as their fear that Dennis' annoying habits of relentlessly bringing up unpleasant truths and drawing unwelcome contrasts will cost the annointed nominee his rightful rank.
