“Palin should have endorsed DeVore, and even if he lost to Babs, conservatives would be better positioned for the future because he would have had a platform to articulate a message that Californians don’t hear.”
That makes no sense at all, Your advocating six more years of Barbra Boxer is OK as long as DeVore gets to hawk his message.
No I’m not advocating 6 years of Boxer. Yes,I do want DeVore to have a better platform from which to “hawk his message”; it is called building a movement. Short term, unprincipled thinking has been the bane of the Rs. Moreover, the way things are going, DeVore might very well beat Boxer in the fall....but electing another RINO - an enemy within - would be worse in the long run than Boxer. Yes, I am saying it is better to take what appears NOW to be a somewhat larger risk of losing in the fall to build a movement.
These are all the same people who said it would be a good thing is Obama won because the GOP needed to be taught a lesson and who said the GOP should lose in 2006 because they needed to be taught a lesson......... and look what that immature thinking has brought this country to!
