And, at one time there were people here that touted Ridge as a ‘possible’ Republican candidate for anything - I’ll tell anyone who will listen... It will be a cold day in goddam hell when I EVER, EVER vote for endorse another asshole like McCain...or Ridge...or Romney, or Huckabee, or any ‘established’ contender....experience from the last eight years tells me these people, along with Newt are completely damn worthless, period......I won’t be cajoled any more.
When I think back to some of the names I had in my tagline over the years.. makes me shudder now..
condi, cornyn, kyl the most recent a couple years back before the bottom fell out.... no ridge ever tho or newt or likely to be
Recently, when there was speculation that Ridge would run in the Pa. primary for Spector's seat, there were already fools on FR who said they'd vote for him.
yes, Gaffer
but it is uncanny that in places such as the New Hampshire primary, usually the “GOP establishment” shows up early to participate and the conservative true believers are stuck wondering why they don’t have anyone to support.
The GOP DC establishment is very, very, very well-connected in Iowa and New Hampshire. These events have morphed into something different than they were back in ‘76 and ‘80 when Reagan was running. Thus, we end up with Dole, Bush, McCain.
