Bob Ehrlich is a RINO. Electing RINOs is counter-productive, if not down right destructive, to getting conservatives elected. I therefore think that Palin did Maryland conservatives a great favor by endorsing the conservative candidate over the RINO. I just wish she had done the same for Arizona.

Ehrlich's tireless efforts to appeal to the liberal-moderate Maryland electorate.

And hence the reason for Gov. Palin's endorsement of Brian Murphy. Didn't the GOP already try Bob Erlich's strategy in 2006 and 2008? How did it work out?

Here’s my theory..Palin endorsed Murphy to get even at Erlich for elevating Steele to national prominence..

A primary is like a scrimage game to see who will sit on the bench and who will be a starting player in the real game. Of course, the scrimmage is necessary to prepare for the real game.

So some are arguing that we should not have a scrimmage and we should not prepare for the real game.

In politics, the real game is to build an army of ground troops that get-out-the-vote. The scrimmage is a necessary exercise in building that ability to get-out-the-vote
