Let me ask you something: Why is it that Republicans must "moderate" all the time? If Republicans want to be liberal, why can't they just join the Democratic Party?

You don't see any pro-life or pro-gun Democrats do you.

there are a few pro-life and pro-gun Dems.

all I am saying is, in states where you need to "moderate" - it should not be ruled out. I am not suggesting that a senate candidate for Texas be pro-choice, or that a senate candidate trying to unseat a Dem in a state that Bush won (Montana or the Dakotas for example) should be a moderate. You have to pick your spots and take a shot in states that would otherwise elect a Dem solidly.
