What would you prefer: a moderate Republican who defeats Obama, or a true conservative who sends Obama to the Senate with the greatest margin of victory in modern electoral history?

The trouble with pragmatism is its failure to acknowledge the implications of choices. "Whatever works" is so incredibly myopic.

We have a rash of those in the Senate now that we can't seem to remove. I think it's easier to defeat sitting Dims than it is to defeat sitting "Moderate" GOP'er in the primaries. (i.e. Specter)
