Massachusetts Republicans For McClintock!
Yep. And Howard Dean & Pelosi is the picture of mederation?
Reagan was Reagan. Bush was Bush. Both won two terms without pandering.
Standard Neanderthal Media b.s. The Democrat are "drifting leftward", so the solution is for Republicans to also "drift leftward".
And in 1994, conservative Republicans would have won, including the senate seat.
As the DNC goes further left, it makes no SENSE for Republicans to move left ("more moderate"). More RINOs in office?
What's the point? The political football just moves the "center" more to the left. That is no WIN.
"...decisive political middle... "
Hilarious!
whats not moderate?
Why is it always that the conservatives are the ones that have to drift over to the moderates? Why not let the moderates drift a little more to the conservative side?
And maybe it's time we stop triangulating ourselves and actually stick to our views because we believe in them? Let's stop talking democrat here and if they decide that our views are better than the left, we can welcome them and say, "Glad you decided to agree with us."
Compromise may be necessary in certain cases when you're not the majority party because you don't control the agenda, but not because you're backing down from your morals or ethics or philosophy just to get a few fence-sitters.
The dirty little secret is that voters know nothing about any of these lower tier candidates, and it is a party identification result. The hypothesis is ludicrous. Morover, Westly almost lost to McClintock for Controller last time. The article is ludicrous, so says this self identified RINO moderate. Spin offends me.
In the spirit of "If one can't say something positive don't say anything at all":
You're consistent. Not convincing anyone to put party above patriotism, but thoroughly consistent.

Look what the Dems are doing, they are throwing their moderates overboard.
the dems can go to the left all they want. we will stay right where we are. so what are the so called moderates to do?Follow the dems to the left? i dont think so.i dont think there are that many fence sitters to start with.
