If it looks like Sir Hitlary Lord Clinton is going to win, then the soundest strategy (think classic "game theory") would be to work our asses off to elect as many Republican legislators as possible -- even if they are the worst RINO POS imaginable -- and (be still, my stomach), work to ensure that The Bitch ascends to The Presidential Palace.
Gridlock may be the only thing that might save the Republic. (I think we'd be in better shape today if we'd had it for the past several years, in fact.)
(If we work hard enough to ensure a GOP legislature -- and end up with the GOP in the White House too, then... *shudder*. Kinda sad -- tragic, in fact -- that this sort of strategy even makes sense. In the age of "pure", raw, unmitigated politics, in which "Party Uber Alles" is the defacto law of the land, then the "least of all evils" is a hamstrung government, in which the two mega-parties are at each others' throats, neither of them capable of doing any damage other than to each other.)
The exception to this nightmare rule (which I think would apply in the inverse as well), would be if we are looking at a real possibility of a President who would NOT "play the game" (i.e., Tom Tancredo or Ron Paul or someone of that ilk), in which case I think it'd be safe to have both branches held by the GOP. In fact, the potential is for it to be better than safe. That was the vision I had when GWB ran for his first term, which is why I was so enthusiastic about voting for him. I literally had a greater sense of "Morning in America" than I did when Reagan won. Words cannot express my disappointment. All the potential for GOOD has been flushed right down the toilet. We could have turned this country around in the eight years we were provided. Instead, we got "business as usual" raised to an art form.)
Please, spare me the personal attacks. NO amount of bashing me over the head is going to persuade me to obey the basher. If my logic is flawed, then show me the flaws -- but any personal attacks will be dismissed upon arrival.
Our problem is that the statesmen have all been replaced by politicians.
