There are party hacks in Ohio who call people like me "traitors" because I won't blindly support a candidate with an "R" next to their name. A pox on the Ohio Republicans and their houses. We as Americans deserve everything we get in 2008.

What is your goal in politics? Is it to hold grudges emotionally even if your values suffer as a consequence, or is it to be smarter than the opposition? If you want pro-lifers to gain power in Congress, if you want to avoid gun-control legislation, if you want to prevent gay marriages, you will need to make sure as many Republicans get elected as possible. So we need a strong candidate at the top of the ticket. This is no time for emotionalism or unclear thinking.
The goal of every Republican interested in social issues should be to secure the Congress. That's where the judges must pass muster, that's where the laws are passed. Only a good showing in November '08 can win the Congress for us and only Rudy offers the hope that we can achieve this. He would run the tables in blue states. He polls strongest on the east and west coasts--precisely where Dems are strongest. But he also is strong in the mid-Atlantic states--in OH and PA.
