[[ I had a vacation with my best friend, a union type Democrat moderate, (he actually does vote Republican sometimes). He complained of the same things that we do. Republicans stand for nothing. Vote for a Republican, and you have no earthly idea what they will do. He said Republicans used to stand for business, lower taxes, small government. Now... well, neither one of us could define a Republican. My friend has proven to be an excellent barometer of the mood in Ohio. ]]
Off-topic, but the Pubbies just chose -- you guessed it, Cleveland for the 2016 convention.
What a bunch of winners -- hold your convention in a blue city in a state that is increasingly blue.
Thinking about your "definition of a Republican" comment about, I'm reminded of that tv show, "Seinfeld" (which I never watched), which was once referred to as "a show about nothing".
If they keep goin' the way they're goin', the Republicans are on the verge of transforming into "a party about nothing"....
