Any time a mushy pile of crap like Sununu runs in a GOP primary against a solid man like Smith, it is in the nation's best interest for the voters to support the man over the mush. Period.
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy that certain establishment Republicans and their FReeper butt buddies wish to continue ad nauseum -- Putting up a mushy RINO and then whining because principled voters couldn't bring themselves to pull the lever for the lesser of two evils. Losing elections by forcing principled people to stay home appears to be the future of the GOP. How unfortunate.

Spoken like a true pile of Kentucky horse turds!
Most of the violently anti-Sununu folks here seem to have never been to New Hampshire, let alone are residents of it. Sounds like the DU is active here.

Sununu's "mushy" because he didn't leave the Republican party, but Smith is "solid" because he did stomp out of the GOP like a crybaby.
Perverse thinking.

Very well stated. Why do so many Freepers refuse to support conservatives in their primary races. Most of the mushy moderate Sununu supporters who oppose conservative hero, Bob Smith, are the same people who celebrated and partied when Bob Barr bit the dust and moderate John Linder beat him. What do these Sununu-Linder supporters have in common you ask? They always back the most liberal RINO candidates and oppose the more conservative candidates in the primary. They are part and parcel of the same RINO crowd that backed Bush's handpicked candidate, RINO Dick Riorden for Governor of California, a pro-abortion pro-gay leftwing extremist to the left of Bill Clinton because they said that his more conservative primary opponents couldn't win. If Sununu wins this one, they will merrily dance on Bob Smith's political grave. If Sununu loses as I pray he does, it will be a dark day for RINOism indeed and a smashing victory for conservatism which will offset the loss of Bob Barr in the House.

Note that in NY, as in most primaries, the discipline of the Democraps filters out all except one, i.e, CUOOOMO in NY.
Unfortunately the November election is limited, almost restricted, to the Republican and Democrap parties. That is the process, and as undemocratic as it is, the party should select it's nominee for the Generel Election.
