She might be right except the Dems keep doing stupid crap that it don't really matter who's in charge at the GOP.
It's interesting how a party's electoral fortunes are always said to hinge on how closely the party's platform tracks the speaker's preferences.
How would she know?
a) If I'm correct - NJ didn't vote for Bush; and
b) she had no clue as to why he was re-elected.
Move her book to the bargain bin (.99/lb) directly from the loading dock and save some time.
Unfortunately, Christie Whitman considers anyone who isn't a RINO to be hard right. In other words, she's right and 90% of the Republican party is wrong.
The only reason she ever became governor in the first place is a) she's an attractive and plausible woman; and b) her predecessor in the governor's office was a corrupt incompetent who went too far even for the New Jersey voters to stomach.
The far left democrats are doing it to their party, I sure hope that the far righters have enough sense not to do the same thing. Us disgusting moderates need a party too.
Oh and I suppose the far left wing is actually helping the Dems?
I think we need to define our terms Miz. Whitman.
Crissy must be tired of frisking African-American perps. Maybe she should take up knitting.
Catering to extremist is always a bad idea. On either side of the aisle.
The anti-GOP folks always attack the 'right-wing' or here 'far right wing', but they never one, identify who these people are or two, what these unacceptable policies are. No substance.
Funny how we keep winning without all those alienated moderates.
The only problem with this is that anyone to the right of Whitman, including Ted Kennedy, is the far right wing.
It certainly wasn't moderates who just won the election for W. Sheesh. The moderates are a drag on the party if anything. They should be thanking us for pulling their dead weight. Them telling the conservatives how to win would be like the pedestrian Indianapolis Colt defensive players telling Peyton Manning and the record-setting offense how to score points. NOTE TO MODERATES: Sit down, shut up, and enjoy the free ride. If we want advice on how to lose an election, you'll be the first to know.
If the "far right" is in control of the WH and Congress then I'd really hate to see the federal budget when the moderates take over.
The only good she's ever given Bush is Barney. Period!
The GOP won't accomplish anything if hand-wringers like her are fretting at every move. It's Republicans like her that drag down the party stifling momentum.
Is this the same Christie Todd Whitman that opposed a ban on partial birth abortion? Yeah, she's in a great position to advise Republicans.
And I'm sure that all 5 of the people that buy her book agree with her.....................
