Better to fight than disspiriting and depressing your Pubbie voters that are feeling their oats for maybe the first time ever in this state. Telling the Pubbie voters that you will pack it in at the first hint of real, nasty fight is no way to get them to ever believe that they can beat the RATS -- who will not quail at a fight no matter how nasty it becomes.
We've had more than enough of the Sam Reed mentality in this state -- and it's gotten the Pubbies nowhere.
The fight has been fought and we lost this round. It's better to know when to leave the battlefield to fight another day than to stay and lose the high ground by grousing about fraud when we know that the media will portray us as petty mean-spirited losers.
Chrissy and the D's will continue to screw this state up and the next governorship will be ours if we walk away from the stench of corruption that the public knows exists around this election.
