You know, it's kinda hard not to leave when party "leaders" are talking about not supporting you and there's some guy in your home state they're all cheering for to beat you in the primaries. RINO or not every man has his pride. The fact that recent polls show GOP self-identification around ~21% of the electorate doesn't hurt his chances either. I suspect Obama will camping for him and he will have the full support of the Democratic machine behind him. So long as he votes with the Dems he'll easily win next year.
