Yeah that may be so. But we got Liz Warren, who may be to the left of Kerry, and so is Ed Markey. So what do you do? Gomez and former Senator Brown are still at least 50% to the right of those 2 would have vote to organize the Senate against Harry Reid. Romney would have won with the same turnout against Obama in '08. Conservatives are on a narrow beachhead right now and in '14 losing the House will be devastating.
Purity is a virtue,but Goldwater '64 had to wait 16 years for Reagan in '80. We can't wait that long now.
