With a fairly long voting history,I as you, have come across Reps. and Dems. that for years will go to the voting booth and pull that lever for their party. Doesn`t matter whether they`ve have taken the time to examine the candidates,learn as much as they can about who their candidate is, take into consideration if what their candidate is promising he/she even will have the power to deliver once elected. IMO, with one of the most important elections in my(maybe your) history, how many will go to that voting booth and pull the lever simply cause thats the way they`ve always voted?
