I concur with auh2orepublican. Linda MacMahon had everything going for her in 2010, and not only did she not win, but she didn’t even come close. And Richard Blumenthal was a candidate with serious flaws. So it’s clear that MacMahon is unacceptable to the voters. What floors me is that she’s running again. Is there any reason to expect her to win?
I don’t blame you for disliking Chris Shays. He’s not one of my favorites at all. But he’s running in a state which would otherwise elect a liberal Democrat and he has a pretty good chance of winning. So what’s there to lose? Someone of our viewpoint is not going to win this race, so the logical thing to do is hold our noses and cut our losses. A little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing.
to clear up the confusion, see post #15. Helps explain why NARAL ran attack ads vs Linda and NRLC ran ads in Linda’s favor. And why NARAL loves Shays.
Now, I realize not everybody is interested in the details of NRLC legislative scorecards. But it explains why Linda is an ally if she would be expected to have a very good voting record on life issues.
has the Shays’ campaign issued a statement requesting support from pro-lifers? When they do, i would find it interesting and perhaps amusing. Has he said anything about SCOTUS nominees?
I also did not attempt to become a delegate to the state convention and got the list today and I ain’t on it. My involvement in that race will be minimal with a capital M.
I’ll tell Justin that he’s got a friend in PR.
