""I see no erosion at all in the president's support, and that is largely because of the president's conduct of the war and the belief in the very strong character of President Bush," he says."

Gillespie and the RNC have had this answer/plan ready, when they prognosticated the likely reaction to Bush's socialism.

In a nutshell: "The far right old school exremists are irrelevant and will be ignored, because we do not need them. And ANY DEBATE OR RECOGNITION of their CONCERNS can only lead to problems, so screw them." Any questions now?

This is what Gillespie talks about off the record with insiders. When that NH newspaper 'outed' this position, he denied it profusely. LIAR.

Hear, hear. More power to him. The Nazis need to be (and are being) routed out of the GOP so that true conservatives like GWB can run the party again.

Sounds like a winning strategery to me. It is about time the RNC figured out the lesson of Barry Goldwater...that winning one far right fringe pseudo-con vote will always cost 3 centrist votes.
