Politics is the art of compromise.

Much like bartering, you set your price high, knowing full well that there will be negotiations and dickering involved, to get to a place that both parties can agree upon.

Now, let's use that scenario on the current Republican primary race. Where do we, as a Party, set our price?

Do we ask for as many things as we believe in from a candidate, and set the price high?

Or do we set our sights low, notcaringwhat we get, but only interested in selling (out)?

Either way, there will be a compromised settlement, and the man who carries our banner will carry with him whatever we insist on getting in the deal.

With Rudy, we're selling ourselves cheap, giving away our core principles just to close the deal.

Before the bidding has even begun!
