Like I said before, the Democrats like their candidate, and the Republicans like neither candidate. It's very interesting to me.
Yes, Democrats tend to have more government programs than Republicans, but that image of smaller government and state rights went out with Reagan in 1988. Neither Bush president has acted toward shrinking the government. I, too, am a strong supporter of state rights to run themselves how they see fit. The Governator in California wanted to increase the emissions limitations of cars sold in his state higher than the EPA limits because California has such bad air pollution, and this administration tried to tell him he wasn't allowed to do that. That's the thinking that worries me. (As far as I know, they did it anyway in California, and the car lobby wanted to sue...)
