though some people in this thread will never ever forgive the Senator for beating the favorites.

What did he do to the President or Dean?

Guess some people just hold grudges for a long time, no matter what the Senator does. Hence the comparisons to the lowlife Mittens. If people hated him or weren't so enthusiastic about him, why did those crowds show up if he was "________"?

You could say the same for the POTUS, but at least he respects the Senator more than some (not all) of his supporters do and ever will.
