Yup, and a Kwanzaa one, too.
"As to Steele I forgot he backed Scumcrest. Though I doubt any RNC chair would openly back say a primary challenge to Specter."
They should. Sphincter will be 80 in 2010. He looks older. When we don't dump these senile embarrassments in marginal states, we risk losing them in the general. Look at Ted Stevens, and that's NOT a marginal state.
"Socially liberal RINO Tom Davis did a good job at the NRCC."
Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. He couldn't even get a Republican to succeed him in his House seat. Less than useless.
"Blackwell was my first choice even though he’s the worst speaker, that’s a facet of the job right now but not the most important."
I hadn't recalled his speaking abilities.
"He mas also possibly the most conservative. It’s curious he backed Steele over Dawson. He seemed to get in it with Dawson at the debate with his “swing state of South Carolina” crack."
I think there was a racial element to it. There were two strong Black candidates and he felt it was time for the GOP to have a Black Chair, and one to counter the False Messiah. But I still think Dawson was more accomplished. With Steele, we still run the risk of this being more novelty and a stunt rather than being more substantive with someone who will bring desperately needed change to our own party (and boy do we REALLY need change and hope - in that order, in our party. Change to solid Conservatism and hope that it will hold and yield results).
It’s a disgrace that Specter has even been there that long. Unfortunately PA won’t go for a real Republican, Santorum was an aberration.
Blackwell was tripping over his words. He sounded like Bush and reminded my of my grade-school gym teacher.
They rated him the big loser of the debate. If he had spoken with Steele’s voice he would have been the winner IMO. What he said was very good. He had a 50-state strategy plan.
