MOGirl,
As a fellow Show Me stater I hope you are right. My problem is I live in a subdivision that is almost entirely Republican, except for our one union AB guy, and I can't seem to convince any of them to rally around Talent. In point of fact, I have several who think it better we lose and comeback in '08 with traditional Republican values, such as smaller government and lower taxes. If I can't get these folks motivated, what happens to the marginal Republicans?
So we get McRoadkill, Cherod Brown in Ohio, and Junior in Tennessee, and a few other leftist idealogues, and we end up with Amnesty for 13 million illegals. Those Conservative Republican purists, in essence voted themselves dhimmitude.
