Lambert, There is a term in the psychological world known as Stockholm syndrome;

In psychology, Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express adulation and have positive feelings towards their captors that appear irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, essentially mistaking a lack of abuse from their captors as an act of kindness.

IMNSO this is what some here are suffering from.

For those that require a link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome

For the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would settle for the status quo. As I have said, I will for for ANY person running against ANY incumbent.

Good Luck
