Bill Owens. Has gone to the private sector, I believe. Also had a problem with his private life that some felt might damage him with the base.
Too bad he really put the screw to PPH a few years ago and seemed to be a real straight talker. That is part of our problem most of the best conservative republicans either aren’t politicians or don’t stay in politics long, unlike the Dems whose best and brightest believe that government is a worthy life’s ambition. You couldn’t pay me to be in politics, that is why I am always hopelessly drawn to the candidate that has the private sector experience. They seldom win because the political class tends to stick together, i.e McCain/Huck, McCain and all his political endorsements.
