#1 - To call these really benign comments racist is weird
#2 -(And the one that really matters) - Good grief, who is nutty enough to want him to resign? We need him to stay in office so we can defeat him, because that looks pretty easy. Do we really want him to resign and have to face someone else? NO!
We want Reid to stay and get his a*s kicked in November.
Dodd will quit and he would have lost in a slam dunk if he had stayed.
With all due respect, I have to disagree. I’m going to use an MMA anology here. When your opponent is rocked, then you pounce and go for the finish. You take your opponent out when the opportunity to do so presents itself. If you let your opponent hang on and linger, then he may recover and take you out. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, as they say.
If the GOP cannot win a senate seat in Nevada in this political climate, then what does that say about the GOP?
I just want to illustrate my point about taking your opponent out when you have the chance a bit further.
Using another sports analogy, because this is a competition after all, I will go with football.
When a team employs the zone defense to protect a lead, it essentially allows the other team to gain as many yards as it wants, but the goal is to prevent the touchdown. However, once the opposing team gets into the red zone, their chance of scoring that TD are very high.
There is no telling how close an election versus Harry Reid would be, or what shady tactics the democrats WILL employ, or how many votes they will find in various car trunks AFTER the election. Do we even know for a 100% certainty that an election will occur in 2010? What if illegal aliens are given the right to vote between now and then?
When you have the opportunity to take your opponent out, then you take your opponent out!
When you play not to lose, then, generally speaking, you do not win.
This game is for keeps.
