Would you vote for Patrick Hughes if he ran as an Independent in November?
Probably. But I’m not sure that is the best strategy. We have a strong Conservative slate for governor. Creating a third party movement at this moment instead of trying to do a Reagan grassroots take over and driving a stake through the heart of the Combine ought to be the goal. The Tea Party movement can be a catalyst in this. Putting a lot of energy into a third party only for one race (Senate) would undermine the effort to take over the state party by conservatives. We have an opportunity. We might fail, but we would be foolish not to try. And I don’t see how making the Senate race a three-way race helps. The time to defeat Kirk was in the primary. Accept the fact that he won because the best candidates went for the governorship and go with our strengths.
