I'd say the club would think that was an issue.

Getting back on point, does anyone have an opinion on the nominee?

Last year's election was pretty close, was it not? It was the votes of the evangelicals and similar who mystifyingly believe republicans are a shining beacon of "moral values" that proved to be the difference in Bush's favour.
The republicans are quite adept at getting the various single-issue groups to vote for them based on their one pet issue (abortion, gay marriage) even when voting republican is in direct conflict with their own economic self-interest.

I'd like to see the Dems hide out in Canada so that the Senate can't get a quorum.

As for the democrats resorting to underhand tactics because they lost the election, hello pot, meet kettle.
