I thought (as a Republican) the same way Powell did. And yes, I too think the GOP is embracing so far to the right they have become intolerant of and disinfranchising to 35-40% of their party membership (the end result being McCain has lost this election)

We don't "call" ourselves Republicans, we ARE Republicans <g> Yes, the running mate was the start of the end for McCain (whom I had intended to vote for), I think. Looking back over the past couple of months, though, Palin's obvious incompetence turns out to be just a small part of the ultimate turn-off.
