The GOP Senate caucus in DC has loads of Weickers: McCain, Graham, Collins, Alexander, Nancyboy Kirk, Corker, Cornyn, McConnell, Murkowski, and many more. The only thing they would hold Romney to is the maximum squandering of money on their respective states and pals. You are kidding yourself.
As a Connecticut resident, I have absolutely no illusions that Romney will get more than 30% of the Nutmeg state vote. Just as I knew when I voted in the Republican primary (for Santorum) that Romney was almost guaranteed to be the winner in Connecticut. Connecticut is a dead loss for conservatives. Not so every other state. I'm not willing to simply sit and pout about how awful the Republican leadership is. That accomplishes nothing.
If the senate does end up with a Republican majority it's up to the people to hold their newly-elected Republicans accountable and not abdicate their responsibility just because 'we won'. I'm well aware that Washington is corrupt and the Republican 'leadership' is an integral part of that systemic corruption. However, I'm not willing to wallow in cynicism. Change will never come as long as 'good men do nothing'. If, indeed, change doesn't come, at least I won't have simply stood by and watched it happen, assuming that my cynicism reflects political sophistication.
