Maybe. or maybe we should find our six easiest battles and fortify our positions there so as to ensure a final victory in the war. I say six because six out of nine looks like the magic number.
MY thanks for the great work you have done and for bringing your previous thread here. It helps a lot to sort through all the murk to reach a decision. Below is a rough accounting of the views on the thread.
It could be said to be a conservative favorite son list. There are however some who seem to stand out. They have multiple asterisks. The Pac is an excellent idea and gets bang for the buck and seems to reflect the main views expressed on this thread. It is like a mutual fund where the decisions as to who and how much is decided by a body who knows better than I.
You placed special emphasis on 6 of 9. I would be curious to see the six and the nine. I would be interested to see how the list of six by someone who has studied the races stands up to applied Free Republic thought. It would appear that Richard Mourdock and Josh Mandel are viewed by Freepers as a good place to spend a little money where it is needed.
Rather than moan and groan about those races lost, we have an opportunity to direct conservative effort and some money towards campaigns that will put forward the conservative philosophy. We must go forward.
