The hatred of Bill was also a puzzler to me. I loathed him as a president ... he governed as a freaking Republican. And all I can imagine is that they hated him because he stole their playbook.
In any event, this was the first primary election in a long time where I had to hem and haw about my vote, really liking both candidates. It's strange not to vote for the lesser of two evils. I can't remember when that was the case.
What's more surprising is that I will like BOTH candidates in the general election for president. I have always liked and respected John McCain. (scaeagles' recent rants about him have done nothing, one might imagine, to change my opinion of him as a great man.)
I have a pledge here on LoT to vote for McCain against Hillary (if she's the nominee) because she is so divisive a figure. I don't know if I'll be able to stand by that ... but it will be the first time EVER that I've actually liked the Republican nominee for president and would consider voting for them.
Wow, what an odd election this is turning out to be!
