Well that's good because I am a 'fire-eating' conservative, but a pragmatic one with a keen survival instinct.
Remember the joke when Ah-nold ran first: "Arnold to CA GOP: 'Come wit me if you vant to live!'"
Its a similar situation. You don't see that the iceberg we hit in 2006 is just a prelude to THE BIG ONE floating out there in the darkness....and she has vampire teeth out for your blood and mine.
All I am saying to the captain around here is:"Skip, time for a little course correction. Skip?"
P.S. I will respond to the Whitman reference with the same statement I have given since 1990, when she almost upset Bill Bradley: "I would go out on a date with her in a heartbeat - but I'd never vote for her for national office."
It's interesting that you say you wouldn't vote for Whitman since a convincing case could be made that she's more conservative than Giuliani.
