Interesting that Weekly Standard seems to push for him.

Thune is in top tier, but I still like Pence/Palin.

“If he wins the nomination, it will be because he is an exceptionally skilled retail politician who can communicate a kind of midwestern, common sense conservatism that is ascendant in reaction to liberal profligacy.”
Fascinating that Sarah’s campaign slogan - common sense conservatism - shows up a lot now.

Are you teaching your kids to talk like that?

Why do idiots like you insist on giving this forum a bad reputation? We are facing enough of a struggle, we don’t need people like you forcing us to take a step back with every two forward.

I would prefer Herman Cain to Thune, but anybody but that Romney.

I think it’s a safe bet John Bolton won’t be in Thune’s corner. LOL

To: MEG33
Besides being a senator, Thune seems pretty good, although I read that he was one of the GOPers who opposed John Bolton. That bothers me a bit.
Crybaby Voinovich from Ohio was the other.

According to whom?
My take is he's a stealth RINO.

I get the feeling he and Pawlenty might split a few moderate votes in the midwest.

I looked it up for a thread last week and can’t find the link..I am not declaring I will vote for him..just saying what I read..He votes for his constituants’ interests it seems...(big farm bill that Bush vetoed..IIRC)
He is a social conservative I also read.
It is too early for me to get too attached to ANY candidate.
Everyone I supported for 2008 fell one by one.

Coon is a us senate candidate in Delaware. You all can look through my posts since 2004 and you won’t find anything racist. I should have know how it would be taken and therefore should not have put it. I’ll be more careful in the future. I’m sorry and it won’t happen again.

I don’t run in circles where I have to turn on a racial sensitivity filter so I didn’t catch it before I got a good chiding. Sorry to all, including any DUmmies who may think I am a racist.
