Good grief. What a whiner. If you knew that the election was going to be decided by about 6-10% of the populace who occupy the middle -- what would be the wise thing to do at your convention? Try to shove and "agenda" down people's throats? Preach to the choir? I thought that was what liberals and activist judges did?
Some around here -- the "real conservatives," ya know? -- are demanding somebody short of Pat. Some "in your face" stuff that would turn off most of the swing votes AND some of the other conservatives.
