"Visit any political website these days, and you’ll find a
cornucopia of news and commentary aimed at exposing just how
terrible Those People are. As Jonas Kaplan, a professor of
political psychology, puts it: “In the political process, people
come to decisions early on and then spend the rest of the time
making themselves feel good about their decision.”
Conservatives aren’t going to vote for Obama. Therefore they
have to vote for Romney. Ergo, they need to find a reason to. That
isn’t easy. And it’s especially hard because it requires them to do
the one thing they most revile Romney for: change positions for the
sake of political expedience." -A. Barton Hinkle
