[C. Edmund Wright]

Straw polls at this point? Meaningless. Why do we let straw polls in NH and Iowa dictate our entire lives. When this country fails, it will be self inflicted wounds that do it…..evil on the liberal side and stupidity on the conservative side.

If the Pubbies fail in 2014 to have a repeat shellacking of Dems as they did in 2010, they won't show enough support going into 2016 to win against the Dems.

If the Pubbies don't start standing for something other than the 'us too' Dem-lite party, their wins won't mean much anyway.

In the last 6 years, for example, the Arkansas delegation has shifted from 5 Dems and 1 Pubbie to 5 Pubbies and 1 Dem-in-serious-trouble. The problem is that most of those Pubbies are middle-of-the-roader go-along-to-get-along types who march along with the GOPelite leadership.
