I bet half you guys demanding everyone "get behind" Harris because she is the Republican nominee are REFUSING to support the "official" Republican nominee in half a dozen other states, like Kean in NJ and most notably Schlessinger in CT. Those people legitablity won their party's nomination, where's all the outpouring of freeper support because their "better than the Democrat"? Are you supporting Schlessinger and going to campaign like heck for him, or are you rooting for Al Gore's ol' running Joe Loserman (and his 90% liberal voting record) to win?
Put up or shut up.
I'll hold my nose and support Harris over Nelson, but I certainly won't blindly worship her.

Well put.
Maybe if Kean and Schlessinger would thrust out their chests when being interviewed?

I can't speak for others but as for me I would support all the Republican nominees, unless they have some character blemishes (which I dont see here). That said, we have some real viable candidates (like Kean, Steele, Kennedy in Minn.) and we have candidates who are long-shorts or worse (CT is an example). We should support and not undercut any GOP candidate post-primary, but our energy and effort is best centered around winnable races.
To any good Republican: *definitely* get behind Kean ... he's ahead in the polls and has a very good chance to pick up that seat.
And for the record, despite the previous polls, I consider Harris a winnable race now. If Harris can get the GOP behind her and build up her base support, she would be in striking distance.
There is no point in voting for Schlessinger in CT. He has no chance of winning and does not carry the potential for disruption of the Party of Treason that Joe does.
His running against Lemont is a disaster for the Party of Treason.
Schlessinger can't be compared to Harris. She is a hero. Who the hell is he?
There has never been a problem in the Republican party with the regular crowd voting Republican when the occassion called for it. There has always been a problem with the Country Club wing of the party turning tale and running (like they did with Dan Quayle) and not supporting the regular candidate when agaisnt all odds and the country club of the party they have managed to win (run-on sentence I know).
One of these days every regular Republican threatening to stay home in the election will actually happen. This electin it is happening for me. I am not going to pull a lever for a Dem. I just won't be pulling a lever.
What good are you guys? I might as well have the Dems in power and you figuring out how to get your base back than to keep getting dumped on.
Hannity is wrong on this. He wants to keep trying to influence the bad Republicans. They are never going to change their ways. They can not be impressed with anythign other than getting a big kick in the you know what.
