But if we are on the verge of a new liberal era in American history, it would be better for the RINO to lose.
I think we are on the verge of a new era because:
1. Weakness in the WOT isnt hurting the DEMs
2. Even with a RINO, NY polling numbers are no different than against a conservative like GHW Bush, indicating that NYers are voting D regardless of who the candidates are.
I believe that the 2008 election will be much like the 1968 federal election was in Canada in terms of importance and permenent realignment to the left.
A question to consider:
For the health and popularity of the Republican Party, is it better for the "big tent" of the Republican Party to house a Dem like Bloomberg, or for RINO's like him to be denied RNC, etc funding.
One could argue that using Republican Party funds to elect Democrats such as Bloomberg is doing the R.P. harm.
