I'm a generic conservative?! LOL, and a generic conservative supports Obama's and Bernie Sanders' reelection, because...?
Besides what Drj said, the reason that you are a generic conservative is that you are a blue avatar and you are new. Zombie voters who really dominate presidential elections don't read campaign threads or look at records in the senate, they see who they know and who has which party label beside their name. Oakvale has a much longer history in the game and is better known by the zombies who will only check at the last moment; I'd honestly say that even if less Federalists vote for him he has a far better chance of winning than any non-universally well known and well liked Federalist would.
