CA...

I thot the topic was Washington picking our candidates, i.e. Rove and Bush. They "picked" Dole for us, ran Synder off, paid off another candidate debts and then whined for we conservatives to vote for their candidate.

Now they are at it again, they dont want Lott, just the people wanted him, they dont want Snyder, the people are the only ones that do.

The . . . 14% of the people who voted for him against Dole? That's hardly a groundswell. Frankly, even a good part of that is probably a 'message' vote, saying "Dole's OK, but she dang well better vote conservative."

Well, the people of MS want Lott as their senator, but I don't think the vast majority of conservative Republicans across the country have been thrilled with him as SML for quite some time. Regardless, none of this would have occurred had Lott had better political instincts. Except for him shooting himself in the foot the way he has, Lott would be SML for the next Congress, and no one would have argued.

I don't want him. He shouldn't be trying to fight the "hand that feeds him" so to speak. He should realize you don't trash the President and then expect help from him. He didn't have a chance of winning and should have gotten out so Reps didn't have to spend so much money on the primaries. I don't like Vinroot either. I'm encouraging Chuck Neely to run. He'd make a wonderful Governor and anyone but Vinroot and Snyder for Senate. Basically, I'm for anyone who can beat Edwards but Snyder isn't it. Simply put; he burned too many bridges when he ran last time and many Reps won't vote for him, including me.
