I voted for Romney in the primaries in 2012 even though I thought Gingrich was the best candidate of that lot. I voted on electability and regretted it. Especially after Romney lost anyway.

What votes have you regretted?

I think Gingrich was certainly the most intelligent of that lot but I can't think of one vote in particular but I'm in a state where it rarely matters because of a late primary and in a Congressional district where I can make little impact (solidly D).

Bill Webster for Missouri Governor in 1992. I didn't just vote for him, but vigorously campaigned for him.


In 1993, Webster pleaded guilty to felony embezzlement charges and was sentenced to two years in prison.

The former Attorney General of Missouri, William L. Webster, who gained national recognition for arguing abortion and right-to-die cases before the United States Supreme Court, is planning plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and embezzlement, a Federal judge said Friday.

You should have regrets. Think of how much better we would have been without him.

None. I voted FOR Reagan, and against the Dems afterwards.
