I will grant you that there are a number of races where the more conservative, Tea Partyish candidate won the primary, and now is going on to win the election, putting the Buckley rule in a new light (i.e. sometimes the most conservative candidate who can win really is the Conservative!). Paul and Rubio both good examples. But sometimes it just goes too far, as in Del.
babble-on: “But sometimes it just goes too far, as in Del.”
A valid point. Perhaps we did reach too far in Delaware, but the RINOs didn’t help. I admit she’s a bit quirky, personality-wise, but she’s solid on the issues. In other words, any reservations I had about her had absolutely nothing to do with her reliability as a conservative vote.
