"It's time for the GOP to find the winnable races and to put every bit of energy into them."

In this you are 100% correct. I have stated on FR several times now over just the last few days how retired army general Tommy Franks would have made this race a real contest. The GOP failed us in not convincing him to run.

The information I have obtained from my work within the party over the last year has told me the reason why General Franks would not run -- he did not think he could defeat Harris in the primary.

Yes, that intel came as a surprise to me, as well.

So you agree that Harris is to blame, since if she had dropped out like a good little crazy woman we could have had Tommy Franks beating Bill Nelson in November.

What a selfish witch!
