I sometimes think this website is attracting pathological manic depressives.
Ya, we'd lose some pork.
Oh wait, that's not so bad.
Hey sink, I want a Republican with conservative values.
DeWine is prolife, a johnny-come lately to defense of traditional marriage, and is arguably not conservative on any other issue, as Pierce has noted:

DeWine will abuse his seniority to prevent drilling in ANWR, allow permissive illegal immigration, continue to spend money like mad (4th worst National Taxpayers Union rating for a Republican, better only than Chafee and the two Mainers) ..... is that what "we" want seniority for?
If seniority is your last remaining argument, I think it means you're out of arguments. At least consider giving DeWine a scare. Vote Pierce.
