Having been a registered Republican for more years than I can remember, this is the first time I could not bring myself to vote for those two fellows on the ballots. I bear no negative feelings against them but I cannot support the Republican Party at this time and will change my affiliations. This party has done its utmost to vaporize itself. George Bush and company was living proof of that. I do hope that the new party in power learns from this abortion we now call the GOP. All those good people in this (GOP) party whose fine resource is going to waste.
My feelings are nearly the same. Although I have kept my registration independent for as long as it has been possible to do that, I have enthusiastically voted for many Republicans in New York, Maine, Massachusetts over the past 45+ years. However, in the past 15 or so, the Republican leadership at local, state, and national levels and most candidates have all been so lacking in constructive ideas and have soaked up nearly all of their ‘air time’ with purely and partisanly negative comments. Senators Collins and Snowe in Maine are rare exceptions. Judd Gray in NH may be. The commentator David Brooks is, and (only) occasionally George Will manages to be clear and helpful, not just make cute, cutting comments. Scott Brown seemed to have potential at first, but then just picked up the boilerplate Republican lines.
