The obvious problem is that the NY state GOP professional pols decided to run this woman because she would win if nominated in a typical NY district.
The problem is this is not a typical NY district and they failed to notice that she is married to a union official of some kind, so naturally she favors card check. I suspect that she is just like Spector who ran as a Republican because their was a Dim incumbent in the first position he sought. What needs to happen is for her to be forced to stand down and the conservative put on the GOP line too.
I wouldn’t want the GOP to run her in any district, no matter how liberal democrat it is. The point is that if the liberal is going to win anyway, then that electorate should be treated to a month long dose of real political insight. It might just change minds over time.
I know we can make a case for our liberal lites being better than their liberal heavies, but there is also the point of the actual legislation getting voted on.
We’ve got rinos like Snowe going for obamacare when she should be helping to make a statement. We’ve got Graham saying cap’n’trade is just fine, when he should be recognizing that it’s a monster of a anti-job tax on everyone. (Not to mention the entire carbon argument being bogus.)
It’s time to either have a conservative party or a conservative caucus within the party that is willing to run alternative candidates OVER THE OBJECTIONS of the party bosses, AND EVEN IF they have another candidate already running.
