 The corruption of the republicans in the last few years has
 raised a stench that even their diehard supporters no longer can
 stomach.

 Ran into a lady I know casually, a couple days back while
 picking up a few things at the supermarket. She told me her
 friends and co-workers would keep asking her how she could
 support Obama, she's a lifelong republican. She just told them
 we need a change.

 There are several guys at work who are known as devout
 republicans. I don't know of any of them who supported the
 republicans this time. Maybe the guy in accounting, but he only
 comes in once in a while, and is in another plant the rest of
 the time.

 It's gotten to the point there is no one to lord it over, they
 all abandoned the republicans.
