Who should have received that nomination? Since Peter Fitzgerald was a state senator, I think the nominee should have been a state senator. Steve Rauschenberger ran, in that primary, so he would have been a good choice. He’s not as conservative as I am, but he would have done better than Keyes did.
I did some work for Rauchie in that primary, but he pretty much refused to get back into it after the Ryan debacle. I always thought he was a good guy who would’ve have done a good job, but he was never an overly exciting candidate.
