He's a typical NE lib republican. Now the question is: are conservatives going to cede the party to that wing of the GOP in hopes of having an electable guy. I say no.
You're probably going against the tide around here. It's astonishing what's happened in just a few weeks. The electorate turned to the Democrats largely because of frustration over the war in Iraq. But the Dems, many of whom had supported the war at its onset, have no real ideas about how to improve the situation there. So they have been promoting their leftist social agenda. To counteract them, the GOP is now focusing on a candidate who (a) has a social agenda as leftist as any the Dems propose and (b) supports President Bush's increasingly unpopular position on Iraq. This is the electable candidate? I don't think so.
Not just NO! but HELL NO.
