Somehow I've got a sneaking suspicion you wouldn't be so gung-ho about this idea if it had been the Democratic Party in Georgia who had sent out a "summons for help" to some well-known non-resident to come in and run for Senate there.
I asked in a post yesterday - and nobody answered -- Should the Texicans have told Davy Crockett to go back to Tennessee when he came to help them fight for independence? Well, should they have?
