Cut and Run

This is a home for former Republicans who are "cutting and running" from the current policies and leadership of the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is not an alternative. The purpose of this site is to provide an exanchage of views as to how disenchanted Republicans can make thier voice heard in advance of the 2008 convention.

My Photo
Name:
Location: San Francisco, California, United States

I am a 77 year old retired trial lawyer, and an active mediator/arbitrator who is also a baseball nut. In 2001 I attended the San Francisco Giants Fantasy Camp in Scottsdale. Since then, after eleven subsequent camps and a kidney transplant I am still attempting to play baseball with the young folks. My trials and tribulations in returning to the game, together with comments upon sports, the passing political scene and developments in the law, will, on an irregular basis, appear on this site A word of warning, I am a recovering Republican-a-holic who has been driven from my party by George W Bush and the Tea Party (which is making George Bush look good). You are invited to agree, disagree or just chime in with any comments.

Waiting for Results and Tomorrow

My predictions before any results are in are Obama with over 350 electoral with a margin of 54-46%. The Democrats to pick up 8 seats in the Senate, but they will lose Lieberman to the Republican. In the house the Democrats will pick up over 30 seats. I pray that I am right in predicting the above because our country cannot stand a McCain victory.

I am convinced that Barack will govern to the center and attempt to unify the country and reduce the extreme partisanship which has too long dominated our political scene. As I write this I am still hearing hate advertisements from the Republicans on CNN and reports of Republican Robo calls. There has to be a better way. I hope that I can get my Republican party back, but the chances do not look good.

Even before the votes are in it is apparent that tomorrow we will be starting a critical period in our history. We have 77 days for the transition when we will get an idea as to how our next President will govern. Whoever wins, the Republican Party has been torn apart and the battle for control of the party will be vicious. Likewise there will be a battle between the far left and centrists of the Democratic Party.

TOMORROW THE 2010 ELECTION CAMPAIGN STARTS along with a battle for control of the Republican Party. However, the first news is good. The Dow Jones rose 305 points in anticipation of an Obama victory. For the record on election day the Dow is at 9,625; NASDEQ 1780 and S%P at 1,005.
