The RNC exists solely to win elections.

If the GOP’s chosen candidate comes in 3rd, they'll get the message.

Scozzafava has been pulling some real bonehead moves in the last couple of days.

If Hoffman stays out, the GOP wins the seat.

But the liberals win her vote.

This Frum article is just a foretaste of what is to come if (as I suspect) the Democrat wins and Hoffman comes in 3rd.

This statement is unfortunately extremely true. The "McCain Republicans"* will be simply insufferable if this happens.

* The most recent mutant spawn of "Rockefeller Republicans".

If we get another 4 years of Obama, it will be because the GOP succeeds in nominating a non-conservative candidate.

The GOP vote will be split between Palin and the RINO, and zero will win with 40%.

I was thinking in terms of votes being cast in Congress. In most cases, including the most important issues, Scozzafava and the Democrat would vote the same way, but the holder of the seat has only one vote. Obviously there are other ways that make it worse to have a liberal RINO in the seat than a Democrat who might be more easily defeated in the future.

The way that Scozzafava became the nominee is not a good omen--think 2012 and how the GOP establishment will be determined to prevent any real conservative from winning the nomination (as they have done many times in the past).

Just because steele is entitled doesn’t mean he’s the right man for it.

Hopefully he won’t do any more harm than the rest of the panderers already are.

Amen

Frum is a moron. For Conservatives, the Republican party is a means to an end. For authoritarians, the Democrat party is an end in itself as the authoritarians are close to a permanent one party state.

Ideas matter not labels.

The GOP brought this on itself by eliminating the primary. They are as much the enemy as democrats.

The thing I’d like is ask is 1) What is the difference between a Liberal and a “Moderate” 2) Why is it in the media or opinionsphere ANY republican that has any kind of liberal tendancy is consered a “Moderate” instead of a “Liberal”?
