You asserted: Every Conservative who ran in 2006 lost. I don’t know how you can put any positive spin on that. HIldy, I wouldn't presume to speak for Jim Robinson, but I have to say that you're not only out of line smart mouthing, you're mischaracterizing the election in order to spin it as something to help put Rudy on the ticket. Conservative democrats won seats and the vote count was much higher in democrat numbers than in pubby numbers because stupid fair weather conservatives believed the Neal Boortz crap that the Republican party needed to be sent a message. Jumping into liberlaism isn't the way to get those people to go vote..

They only wish it was that way. Not all republicans lost and many conservatives won.

People are so sick of the squishy lukewarm, go along to get along types. They lost interest. Some good people got caught in the wave.

Hildy just wants it to be that way cause she's a liberal.

I dunno, Hildy is somewhat unique. She’s very liberal, even leftist, on some things and a died in the wool conservative on others, like taxes and welfare bloat.
