Right - of course paid by the candidate - it was the apology part that I thought was different. Rare, if not new.

It was a pretty popular thing for Republicans do to after Bush, Joey.

OK - did not recall that. In 2008, I assume?

There were several New York and Washington full-page advertisements of prominent Republicans listing their names and recommending not voting for McCain, but for Obama. It's not that unusual. Has happened in previous elections, where long-time party faithfuls go rogue in a public way.

Your listing is simply a campaign ad, though, paid for by Romney. Voters switching parties isn't unusual.

OK so I guess it's history repeating itself. Not surprising in such an important election.

Agreed. But Joey, only about half our eligible USA voters even bother to vote. We are like 30th in voting turnout among democracies.
