I live in Texas, and I'm OLD.  Most of my friends are so republican they refuse even to turn left.  They voted, en masse, for Hillary, in the primary, and dutifully, with walkers, went to caucus.  Why?  VERY simple, Republicans know that Obama can beat McCain, and Hillary can't.  Tres simple.  As has been the case for many elections the Dems nominate the person that Republicans dream about..  Oldbag
