Ah yes the last refuge of the lost argument, claim your opponent isn't a true conservative, or some other name.

I am not sure what point you are trying to make with this statement, other than perhaps since Dole was obviously going to lose I must have voted Clinton because of it being obvious he would win? Which is a nonsense comparison.. because there is a huge difference from voting for your parties canidate even if they lose and voting for a canidate when you know it will cost your party completely the election.... But I know I know, political subtleties are lost on the all or nothing crowd.... Keep up the good work.... Californias been doing great with your mentality so far!

Exactly. Clinton was the most conservative "electable" candidate in 1996.

And the difference between "party" and "principle" is lost on political prostitutes.
