The article Mississippi Democrat admits he didn't vote for Obama is an interesting one. I truly believe to be a good politician it is not what you say but what you don’t say. Gene Taylor, Mississippi representative said that he did not vote for Obama and added that “better the devil you know.” This political socialization that takes place on certain websites and/or television channels is aggressive. This article is on Fox News website which is mostly a republican news source and this supports this theory. The ethos that Obama has with many Americans may not be too high however I don’t believe a candidate from the same party should be referring another member of his same party the devil. Taylor then continues to dismiss the current speaker of the house Pelsoi and how she has “veered towards the left.” This extreme cause to separate oneself from Obama really does not say anything to me as a voter. The guy is a democrat and it is hard to believe he is not going to have the same perspectives as the majority of his party. I believe this extreme cause will only hurt Taylor as it proves no loyalty to his fellow party members.

I agree. I think that him saying things about other members of his party will hurt him now, and ultimately hurt him in the end. Also, like you said, he could, and probably should lose a lot of party support. Obama, whether he likes it or not, is the leader of our nation. It's a childish saying, but if you have nothing nice to say, then why say it at all? What did this accomplish? Absolutely nothing but hurt his cause for the future.
