a technicality like carpetbagging

A ringing endorsement!

[Mr. Silverback]

Mountaineer, this is an Illinois election we're discussing here, so either send money or shut up. ;-)

[Mr. Silverback]

One other thought occurs. The sentence you quoted "a technicality like carpetbagging" from read, in full, like this:

"Do you really think we should let a real died-in-the-wool socialist and cheerleader for baby-killing just waltz into this Senate seat over a technicality like carpetbagging?"

The answer some conservatives are giving is, "Yes, let's send a real died-in-the-wool socialist and cheerleader for baby-killing to the U.S. Senate! It's the American Way!"
