Id he votes for this bill, I think he can be taken down in the Republican Primary in 2010. The problem after that is you probably will end up with a more liberal Dem. winning the General Election. This is the same state that sent Rick Santorum packing.
So??? If the state is too stupid to hire a man of principle and conservative values, too bad for them. As conservatives and republicans we have too get over the LOTE factor at this time in our history!
If someone is going to promote leftist policies it should be a democrat. If you ever want people to be open to conservative principals you’ll need to sacrifice seats like PA.
One of the problems is that it’s always a Lefty v. “moderate”. The moderates tend to try to pretend that they are different but they are not
I can live with that.
A more liberal Dem as a Freshman Senator is less damaging than a multiple-term liberal Republican.
The Dems have sent their most popular candidate, Bob Casey, to beat Santorum in 2006. Casey’s father was well remembered, and for a while, anyone named Bob Casey, whether related to them or not, could win statewide elections on small campaign budgets.
Those conditions don’t exist now, and there isn’t another liberal Dem with that type of name recognition.
