1. Campaigning gets his name out there to those who have no idea who he is.
2. Not sure who this Fiorina woman is, but I doubt she articulates the right's message as strongly or clearly as Elder. Few people do.
3. Given California's downward spiral, we need more McClintocks, Elders, etc. out there highlighting the hypocrisy of the left so that even if they lose now, when the whole thing comes crashing down (or maybe even before, if we're lucky) people will wake up and there will be recognizable names in place that voters can gravitate towards.
I know relatively little about California politics, but IMHO Cornyn screwed up if this story is true as related above.
We need more of that across the country, not just in California.
This is the essential argument for running essentially Conservative candidates.
There is no strength and nothing to be gained in running people who support a watered down version of the failed policies which have made the mess.
A clear contrast in political philosophy is needed so people can choose a different way of doing things when the other has clearly been a failure, not to just do less of what made the mess.
It’s Cornyn screwed up AGAIN. He’s doing it in Florida also by supporting Crist rather than Rubio. Embarassed that he’s one of our two RINO senators.
