I agree, we need to elect another Repiublican. But I wish we could have elected a fine Conservative like Cooksey. Time and again, moderates are gettng first in line. It doesnt bode well for agressive conservative agendas.

I really don't believe that Mrs. Terrell represented the moderates in this race. She was touted as representing moderates because she is a woman and is from New Orleans, but her positions on the issues were no less conservative than those of Dr. Cooksey and not really any less conservative than those of Mr. Perkins. For instance, Dr. Cooksey was a big proponent of federal spending on health care. While I realize that we have to support some of this stuff to bribe seniors, it grates on me to see Republicans become such fervent cheerleaders for it. While Mrs. Terrell followed the party line on the issue, she didn't emphasize it the way that Dr. Cooksey did. On her NPAT survey at Project Vote-Smart, she endorsed a "no exceptions" abortion ban. Dr. Cooksey didn't answer the questions this year, and his last survey showed him to favor a ban with exceptions. I actually prefer the exceptions, but the survey suggests that Dr. Cooksey was the most moderate candidate on this issue.

And how come you don't consider Terrell who is pro-life a conservative? It takes guts for someone running for office to be pro-life in a general election in America.
