Arnold on MTP needs some neuticles....he let the Dems neuter him...and is now being heralded by potato head....really pumping up the environment. Sickening.

A thought here and I know a lot of Americans and particular conservative Americans are not going to like this.

We have to do what we have to do to get elected in the area and climate (not intended as a pun but it works) we are in.

In my country we have now a moderate environmentalist leader of the Conservative party, he however IMHO is listening to the MSM and general public in the UK. He is appealing to the moderates and swing voters which he will need to get elected. If however you look at various members of his Shadow Cabinet there are more than one or two that are not moderate which leads one to think that actual policies when elected the Conservatives may not be as moderate as David Cameron is eluding.

Maybe each area each situation needs to be looked at separately and candidates in each one need to adapt their policies etc to ensure that a Republican albeit a moderate one is elected.

Would you not have taken 5 or 6 more moderates and retained the House. There are bigger issues here than individual pet one (not having a go at you but generalizing).
