I wouldn't say I have trust of DeWine or Graham.

Rather, if anything spurred them to do the RIGHT thing it would be a need to save their political hides from the fallout of the base.

DeWine's re-election is very shaky, and he doesn't even have a challenger in the primary yet. Graham does have a challenger, one well funded that finished second in the '04 Senatorial primary.

McCain isn't going to sell out his base- the MSM.

MSM doesn't vote in the GOP primaries..

Well I trust DeWine and Graham more than McCain. But we still have enough votes if Warner, DeWine, and Graham all stay with Frist even if McCain, Collins, Snowe, and Chaffee desert. That even allows us unexpected trouble coming from, say, Specter.

Soul Seeker, make sure you let us know when the primaries are settled and there are challengers to Graham to get behind.

Tell us who the best challenger is, and I know people who will send small (but every little bit helps) donations to that campaign.

"DeWine's re-election is very shaky, and he doesn't even have a challenger in the primary yet."

Although I do not live in Ohio, I am relatively close (Western PA) and I have decided to focus on defeating DeWine in the 2006 primary. I would hope to form a like-minded group of folks in the Middle Atlantic/Midwest region (outside Ohio) to pursue this goal (of supporting conservative Republicans in Ohio).

Of course, I and others of similar inclinations would be dependent on the people of Ohio making a move in this direction. Any news on that?
