@engineer,
The Houston Chronicle's endorsement of Romney was well articulated but included this gem:
Quote:As Texans, it is a particular vexation that this president's attitude toward the interests of our state has occasionally bordered on contempt, particularly in decisions relating to the NASA budget and the energy sector. The hurtful symbol of this attitude of insensitivity to Texans' feelings was the administration's choice to deny Space City's bid to become home to one of the retired space shuttles.
How dare you deny us a space shuttle!
