As the fall elections draw near, Republicans are turning to a secret weapon

"He is a strict constructionist, that is, for him, the Constitution is what it says it is and nothing more."

Why it would be different for any American who can read is beyond me.

The stuff on HillPac is interesting, and fair game as well. I've often wondered why R's are not running ads in conservative states like Montana, S Dakota, Georgia, etc. tying a vote for the D to a vote for Hillary, Teddy, Pat, etc.

I think Rasicot has brought MUCH to the table re: tactics. I like this trend in Republican politics and APPLAUD the pre-emptive nature of the strike.

And using the 'national' recognition factor and tying it to "state" races (agree re: Montanta, S.D. etc) is good.

An aside: I saw a 'clip' of the new Fred Thompson role for Law and Order on Fox News. This is going to be VERY VERY VERY good, I think. He was explaining his reasoning re: a decision he makes, and it was "Constitution 101". I was cheering.
