Very good posting.

That a pompous, unlikeable, lightweight trophy husband got 49% of the vote in 2004 shows what we are up against. Winning has to be important to conservatives. So it may be necessary to take chances on a candidate who falls short of the ideal.

Well then, the winning strategy would be to nominate a candidate who opposes the Iraq war, since that is the most unpopular thing associated with the Republican party.

And we just cant seem to find it in our hearts to get behind a real conservative and so the rinos want us to get behind a damn lib from new york. It AINT gonna wash in the south and you know what that means. Rudolph cant win. You need to find a better candidate that the base wants to vote for, not has to.
