"If Republicans play this right, we could actually claim to be on both sides of every issue. What would the democrats do then??"
Attack us the same way we attacked John Kerry last election: as not being able to take a stand on the issues.
John Kerry was attacked because HE kept changing his stance. He was a joke of a candidate.
The worst they could say is that Republicans are able to accept disparate points of view within the party. And I don't see how that's an attack that would work, especially against someone like RG who has almost a larger-than-life image. But I guess we'll see how this all shakes out in the end.
Speculation is most of the fun!
