Just saying that there were a whole host of "Republicans" who could be expected to rip on the nominee.
Then again, Simon did such a good job of making himself a laughingstock that the media didn't really need to look very hard to find Republicans mad at him.
You just have a different spin converter ratio setting then I , it would appear. Simon was far from perfect, but it didn't prevent me from seeing enough in him to vote for him.
You have your right to your assessment as others have theirs. It would be nice to put the 2002 election behind us but... Look here.. We may be going down the same path again... and very soon, ironic, huh?
MY question is, Who will be fielding the more aggressive attack dogs this time around?
