There won't be a viable challenger. We need to quit whining and get on the phone to the White House. If we don't ALL make calls/our voices heard to the people who matter, than it's not their fault - it's ours. It's exactly like not being able to bitch if you didn't vote.

I mean c'mon - what's more productive - pissing and moaning here, and voting for someone else, or informing the guy with experience (who's already there) how his constituents really think and feel? Bottom line - if a person thinks that acting a certain way will increase his chances to keep his job, he'll do it. I don't care if you are the President, or a Operations Manager.

True, but this is where the Shakespearean dilemmas come in... his principles prevent him from waffling on an issue. He won't change because he can't change, without a serious change in his personality and taking a very public hit for not adhering to his principles (applicable only to GOP office-holders, of course). It's just as unlikely as beating him in the primaries!

He knows. And he knows we know.
