No not even CLOSE. Luttig is a shining light who would've excited the base. We're told that 'ANGRY WHITE MEN' are responsible for the 94, 2000, '02 and '4 wins. Well, Luttig was the guy to keep the 'AWM' excited about politics despite the sky high gas prices.
If the Dems had went after Luttig for advocating the death penalty of the 17 and a half year old who killed his father in cold blood, the rats would've gotten clobbered.
Most Americans --fter hearing what happened to Luttig's old man-- would've been four square behind his nomination. And the rats would've looked like soft on crime pinkos for oppsing him.
God, Bush blew this one so effing bad it's hard to even put in to words.
"Bush blew this one "
Maybe not.
You said "We're told that 'ANGRY WHITE MEN' are responsible for the 94, 2000, '02 and '4 wins"
Perhaps that's just it.
The base will get excited again about someone who RUNS TO THE RIGHT OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S RECORD.
Geore Allen....Newt Gingrich..(insert Righty here).
Just a thought...you bring up some good points, man.
