On another note, nice work by Mr. McKinney. 28 votes, ahead of both McCain and Brownback combined (note to John and Sam: you may want to consider throwing in the towel). I know he may not have a realistic shot at the GOP nod, but at least this raises his profile a bit if he does want to enter state politics or the like.
Congrats, Ray.
Mr. McKinney and Mr. Cox impressed a lot of us with their good conservative values. Dr. Cort said he’d overturn Roe with an Executive Order if he were elected, and that blew any interest we might have had,since we don’t believe that would be possible and we aren’t fans of the whole “stroke of the pen, law of the land” deal.
There were all good men there and I would love to see some combination of the top two candidates.
(Although I believe we have men who earned their place and that any of them are better than anything the other side have to offer, I’m still hopefully waiting for the rise of candidates that aren’t older white men. We are the revolutionary party and our up and coming candidates are all qualified by much more than some “minority” status. And I’ll be glad when the day comes when those men and women are the front runners for President. Better yet will be the day when even people like me can/will only compare values and credentials because there’s nothing out of the ordinary for women and minorities on the top of the ballot. First, the credentials and experience, though, always.)
