"Rick was right in his statement. Who is going to vote Obummer Lite when they can have the real thing. I remember some dude talking about the difference between Pale Pastels and Bold Colors a number of years back as well."

The same 'dude' who then nominated Rockefeller RINO Sen. Schweiker the very next year at the '76 convention as his running mate...you may remember Dick Schweiker, he was "in PA" too...

Everyone involved in that ‘76 campaign cite the move to make Schweiker the VP the reason they lost the floor fight. Why did Reagan do it? To appease moderates and RINO’s. It never works.
