>> Better [Goode] than Mittens
The point is, it won’t *be* Goode. Goode doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of having any beneficial effect whatsoever. But he may help throw Virginia to Obama, which would NOT be goode (in any sense of the word).
I consider it beneficial - nay, vital - the the GOP-e know that they can get conservative votes only with conservative candidates.
