Are you telling me DeWine didn't have an advantage over his challengers due to the party infrastructure?

No. But I'm telling you that Jim Petro had the advantage over Ken Blackwell due to party infrastructure, and the voters overrode it.

It's the PEOPLE who make the decisions, sam. That's what this country is all about.

Placing blame on the party alone may be convenient, but it's not Constitutional.

I didn't prove your point. But you provided me a fine opportunity to prove mine.

Fine by me. I'll grant you all points to get past the pissin contest.

You're correct. For whatever reason, the voters, incidentally on the same side of the incumbent, voted to keep DeWine, thus encouraging RINO's to believe that the less conservative they act, the more chance they have of getting re-elected.

So what, in addition to casting our vote against the milquetoast candidate in a primary, can we do to encourage the machinery of the party to support more conservative candidates? Otherwise, even if the GOP maintains control of the govmt, will they eventually trend away from DeLays and toward the DeWines?

Or is voting as the losing loyal conservative minority in our own "party" all we should ever aspire to?
