I'm not entirely on board with the healthcare reform bill, either, but that wouldn't make me vote for a sucky candidate. I tend not to vote for someone because of an agenda--when I voted in the last Senate race in RI, who won was essential to the Dems gaining a majority in the Senate. I still voted for the candidate I thought would be the best in the Senate, and ended up not voting for the Democrat. Although I'm happy with the job Whitehouse is doing, I didn't vote for him. I'm waiting for Scott Brown to lie his way through his term--not because he's a Republican, but because he's a lying liar who lies.

And I still think the Republicans would vote down a bill declaring National Hugs and Puppies day if it were an Obama initiative. And yes, I'm probably oversimplifying things. We shall see. :)
