What good is it if we walk right into ambushes the way Gingrich did? Sometimes, the key to winning is to withdraw, and conserve the capital for a more important battle, or to possibly win PERMANENTLY.
Remember Brer Rabbit and the tar baby? The more he fought, the more he got trapped. They just threw this into a brier patch, and frankly, all that will survive are the disclosure elements and the higher hard money limits.
The rest is toast. Now, if you have a choice between a 99% chance of killing this thing PERMANENTLY, or fighting this battle year in and year out, what would you take?
I don't like fighting the same battle over and over. Let's stake this abomination PERMANENTLY.
