“He also endorsed a local Democrat congressional nominee over a carpetbagger Republican who felt he was entitled to the seat in a Republican district.”
Similar experience here in Ohio. Gov. Strickland (D) has been far better on 2nd Amendment, govt growth, pro-biz, and good govt than Gov. Taxt (Rl ever was. Not that I’m much of a Strickland fan, but he’s the headache after the nightmare that was Taxt. Between the two, I’d take the headache (D). Look at this election about the same way.
This is also a bit of a gamble. McLame is a politician. He is saying what he has to in order to lock the middle and even some of te Donk base. My bet is that when he gets in, he’ll shift right. Just like most of those “moderate” or “conservative” Donks shifted hard left once they got elected in 04.
I hope you are right, but fear it is a false hope. The time he has spent kissing the ring of La Raza versus trying to mend fences with conservatives is particularly telling. Does he really have to shore up his La Raza credentials? Obama already supports amnesty and driver's licenses for illegal aliens. Does McCain think he is going to top that?
Sorry, but I still can't bring myself to vote for the guy. I would have much rather taken a chance on Rudi or Romney who, although they both governed ultraliberal northeastern constituencies, at least didn't take delight in p***ing on conservatives.
