Yes, but I don't think their aim is to defeat Roberts. I think they have bigger fish to fry.
Their aim IMO is to split the conservative vote in 2008. Their target is conservative emotions. The prognosis for what they wish to do is good -- apparently.
I agree. You should see the hate being directed at Santorum -- probably our most principled senator -- by "conservatives".
Acton Institute, and Pacific Legal Institute and the two publications which published this are NOT "Tools of the Left."
They are highly reputable and credible conservative-libertarian policy and legal think tanks as anyone whois informed on their activities will tell you.
