That is certainly a valid observation. Esp when it comes to Texas politics isn’t it? It has long been said politics are a contact sport in Texas....Truer words....
Luckily, I suppose, for now the district in which I reside is pretty “safe” for a conservative candidate. I’m in the lower part of the Pennsylvania “T” where Republicans have a much easier time of it. Most people here are fiscally conservative as well as socially conservative. On another thread, a poster mentioned something Serpenthead said about PA. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh bracket an Alabama type area within the state of PA. Still, I have no illusions where Democrats are concerned. For better or for worse, I consider their party the equivalent of a malignant cancer and al-Queda.
