People like your sister would not support any republican. The independents sway with the wind if Obama screws up bad enough we can defeat him.
Not my sister. Aria's sister. I was responding to what Aria said.
But while we're on the topic, my sister is a conservative Democrat who votes Republican in gubernatorial and presidential elections. Or did, until this year. She really disliked Bush/Cheney toward the end of their term, though she wasn't of the opinion that they had killed Iraqis for oil or any of that.
She was upset that they'd grown the federal government as large as they had. Plain and simple.
She lives in a state that Republicans usually carry, but didn't in 2008. The GOP needs people like her to carry elections in places like Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
The next Republican candidate has to appeal to people like her - people who are fiscal conservatives, regardless of their party.
