Regrets only

I read this NYTimes.com article, Ex-Aide Says He’s Lost Faith in Bush, about Matthew Dowd, a Democratic strategist who jumped ship in 2004 to help re-elect Bush and defeat Kerry, in nytimes.com with increasing anger and disgust. It's a shame that the entire country has to suffer for one man's misplaced idealism. What happened to the days when you chose a political party because of its platform, what it stands for, and stuck by your party's candidate? Did anyone ever do that, or is that just my idealism? Dowd apparently sees the error of his ways now, but at what price to the country and its future?
