Souunds like that choice is almost between similar people philosophicallyIt's a hypothetical in that they are not running against each other (and I don't even think they are up for election this year in any case).
My point is that even the most conservative of Democrat will help the Democrats maintain the majority in the Senate, which means a majority on the Judiciary committee, which means that no one gets through if not passing the leftist litmus tests put in place by Leahy and Kennedy.
Everyone does have to make up their mind it is true. But any race that is lost by a Republican Senatorial candidate this November, even RINOs, is a blow to the chances of conservative judges.
This November, even RINOs should get our full support.
I still wait and listen to the candidates' messages and then look at their record. I will vote for the people who will support those three issues I pointed out tooth and nail ... whomever they are. Of course this means that there is a snow balls chance that would ever be a democrat these days. But I listen and decide just the same so as to insure I am never guilty of putting party over country or principle.
Here in Idaho ... things as regards those issues are very straight forward.
