I can't defend Taylor any more than I already have. He chose his party, and he'll live with the results. But this sure has become a tough crowd to have to play to, let me tell you...
How many times did I hear Ryan bitch about McCain not being the right choice for GOP candidate? A hundred? A thousand? Who did HE vote for? The expedient choice... or the principled one? Wouldn't the "principled choice" have required writing in your preferred candidate? We all had the opportunity to put down a name we wanted, if we didn't like the five or six that were on the ballot... and I know Ryan liked Romney.
You didn't write in Romney's name because it would have been tantamount to throwing your vote away, and gaining nothing for the effort. How do you blame Taylor for doing the same thing?
And for the record, Pelosi was elected Speaker of the House by a unanimous caucus (meaning all Democrats in the House) vote on Nov 16th, 2006. She ran against John Boehner (R-OH) and beat him 233-202 (even party lines of all members present and voting).
