Does anybody really think for one moment that any of we the people that are registered voters, that vote, would be affected by any endorsement? The answer is of course not. The endorsements are nothing more than party member statements by leading politicians to other politicians in an attempt to sway their favor as well as their special interest groups, lobbyists and all other free loaders.

If some looked at Obama with the same magnifying glass they always use on Bush they no doubt would not think very kindly of him either. But since hell is not forecast to freeze over anytime soon, we won't hold our breath waiting for that to happen.

I disagree. We the People vote for candidates for a myriad reasons. Exit polls astound data collectors. People actually admit they vote for such salient reasons as 'he has such a nice family'; 'I trust his smile'; 'he really seems sincere' etc. Since all President are famous and controversial, I have no doubt there will be large numbers of Americans who cast their vote for Romney AND Obama because of their feelings one way or the other about the Bush endorsement. It's not pretty, but it's real.
