Hmm, not exactly. I don’t think Og misrepresented himself, as Romney has consistently done, but we invested a bit heavily in a man that probably would’ve voted more like the Maine Twins or Chris Shays. It would’ve been a nice psychological boost, but not much more. As I posited to Non-Seq, I wonder if Og had run a go-for-the-jugular, no-holds-barred unapologetic Conservative (which, mind you, doesn’t mean pro-Bush, as we well know) candidacy, how would it have turned out ? I think there is a substantial number of voters in MA that don’t bother to participate in voting because between the far-left kooks and the squishy go-along to get-alongs, there is nothing that is worth turning out for. It’s not even a matter of getting everybody to agree with your positions, but making enough of an appeal to people disenchanted with politics in stating there NEEDS to be a change in Washington. Niki Ticks-on-ass is just another Pelosibot footsoldier, no change, just the same old crap.
Shays is such an awful RINO, almost anyone would be better. Romney could get nothing done in MA with the way the statehouse is(85% D) but that’s the only thing he gets a pass on.
