Christine just can't get a break can she.
I happen to not hate Lamar Alexander.
I can’t remember anything at all about him. But I know that he’s old, but not as old as McCain, and that he ran for President at least twice before. I think that he’s been a Governor, a Senator, and has been a Cabinet Secretary.
Gingrich, Romney and Huckabee all have major flaws. They’re not Conservative. And they don’t have the wide experience of Lamar.
I’ll be supporting a Conservative candidate in 2012. I don’t think Gingrich, Romney or Huckabee are Conservative. I don’t recall anything about Lamar, except that 20 odd years ago I don’t remember hating him. I don’t assume that he’s conservative, but he’s more acceptable to me than Mitt Gingabee.
We all do know that Republicans have a tendency to support old dudes who have been around a long time, with a wide body of experience. Lamar Alexander, as much as anybody, fits that classic Republican nominee template.
And thanks to Lamar for helping Christine. It’s support from the “reassuring” wing, the “normal” wing of the Republican Party.
