If you truly live in a neighboring state of mine, then you ought to know that the South has been saving the Union from the democrats for a number of years.
In battle ground states, it's next to impossible to statewide elect "real or true" conservatives. Rick Santorum was defeated, but Spector won. It is a fact that the GOP needs the Spector's and others in order to sustain a majority.
I am sick to death of the purists who slam the Maine girls, because they're not conservatives, but they're about all Maine will elect and we should be grateful to have them. Their ACU ratings are both in the 50's --- so they vote with us a little over half of the time, whereas the much heralded Lieberman has a lifetime ACU rating of 17%.
Now, you mention that you do not support liberals in our party. Care to name them?
Great post as you say each race is local and we have to be realistic like I am about David Cameron.

Yes - and we did our part this time too, even if my District had no national election to vote for (why the Republicans do not keep trying to unseat Bud Cramer (D) (49%) I can't fathom). My two Senators are solid (Sessions with a 98%) and reasonably solid Shelby (74%).

He was certainly not praised by me. I do wonder why there was so much Joe support on this site. He was only on our side on the WOT. Nothing more. That he was marginally better than the hard Left running the DNC now doesn't change his political orientation.

McCain, for one. I did notice CFR is off the list as a plus. I think it was still there the last time I read it about a week ago. Now, delete NCLB and billions more to Africa and it'll look better. Any Republican in the Senate who voted for the Senate immigration bill for another.
