Like anyone is going to take what Whitman says seriously...
Go join the Rats, you insufferable airhead.
Yes, indeedy. We now absolutely, positively know that the purported floodtide of "independent voters" upon which Team McCain based its entire campaign strategy did not, does not and will not ever exist.
E-v-e-r.
Make certain to wave at me from your front row seat at the McCain inaugural ceremonies, Christine.
Get bent, loser.
Christie, we’re going to be a conservative party again, if you want to be with the Communists, feel free to go.
We learned in 2008 that a RINO couldn’t defeat a COMMUNIST.
Simple. Start their own party.
Conservatives don’t have to become DemocRATS to get elected. If Baracko Bama does all the things he is promising to do, “moderates” and a lot of DemocRATS will be running to the GOP during the next election in hopes of sending the Kenyan Manchild packing. That is, if we have another election in this country.
WTF does anyone care what a FAILED governor has to say. Its particularly noteworthy that the same media outlets pushing Whitman are the same ones that were celebrating Florio’s tax hikes and McGreevey’s “authenticity.”
“They are identifying with the interests of their political captors”
You know what, Christie? Shove it up your rear. If you have so little respect for the conservative base that you would refer to us as “captors”, then you can go screw yourself.
In a funny way, I feel sorry for this woman. She hasn’t a clue.
But then my better nature takes over & I think... what a friggin goofball.
The media always gives Christie Todd Whitman and people of her ilk the so called recipe for success.

All you need to know about Christie in order to judge her capabilities and limitations: In a private tour of her mansion she identified some Trotsky memorabilia with the charmingly cluess observation, "He was a Russian Count, you know."
Christine Todd Whitman would make a great candidate. For the Green Party. Of Sweden.
She is the Country Club RNC, that stands up for nothingness.
They still don't get it. It's easier to blame the "fundamentalists" than to look in the mirror for the Republicrat Not Can't.

My prescription is to kick you and your friends the hell out of the party. You’ll be welcome on the Democrat aisle but you deserve nothing more then a sooted black boot imprint on your backside.
I didn’t read one word of her editorial and I know what it says.
Much like my idol Rush says, I know these people like I know every inch of my glorious naked body.
Except mine really is much more glorious than Rush’s. My brain isn’t as great as his but if this were a posedown I’d kick Rush’s butt :-)....
Let me guess:
The thesis is that conservatives should become more like libs and turn the GOP into socialism lite.
Am I right?
Whitman is an idiot. She sees the facts, and reaches the wrong, opposing conclusion to the truth.
McCain was the moderate’s moderate. HE was the darling of the centrists, the man who was seriously considered (if not actually offered) a reasonable choice for Kerry’s VP slot, who was equally expected to possibly pick Lieberman (the 2000 Democrat VP pick) as his own VP.
And yet, as Whitman points out, moderates voted for the far-left liberal Obama over the centrist McCain.
This proves that “appealing to the moderates” cannot be done by actually picking a moderate. It seems moderates don’t like moderates running the country, and are drawn to candidates who have firm convictions and are well to the left OR right.
If Whitman could explain what it is about McCain that “turned off moderates”, she might actually educate herself to the truth. But it’s a lot easier for her to just assert against the facts that somehow it’s the social conservatives that are at fault.
