That is true, but the big money donors only have a few votes. All the money in the world won't help the RNC if even 5% of the base decides to stop supporting them. The illegals who find a way to vote and the pro-amnesty crowd won't help as they will vote for the Dems.
For example, my two Georgia senators (both republicans) are backing this bill hardcore and insulting those who dare to question it. One is up for re-election in 2008 and I've already decided that I'm voting 3rd party for his slot. He can get all the donation money he wants, but he is toast.
Whammo!
“He can get all the donation money he wants, but he is toast.”
So right. Let me remind some freepers here of the story of “Pat Dewine”, son of Ohio Senator “Mike Dewine”. Pat was running in the republician primary for an ioen congressional seat. He had a 10X money lead over his nearist competition, had all the “Washington Endorsements and of course name recoginition.
However, his father Mike dewine was knee deep in the “Gang Of 14”, with Lindsey Graham, John McCain etc. The “Base” in Ohio was digusted by Mike Dewine’s participation in the “14 Gangsters” and these gangsters ego trip.
So, they sent Mike Dewine’s son a message in the election... 4th Place.
All the money, endorsements and did not add up to much.
Don't understand why our Senators from Georgia have taken this stance since our Republican Governor Sonny Perdue has taken such a hard position towards the illegals in the State.
Most Republican's in office are still more conservative than democrats although both Party's continue to drift to the left. I'll continue to vote for the most conservative candidate that has the best possibility to win.
I’m in Atlanta also, I agree with you. We can vote for Dems down here because some are more conservative then the Repubs actually. However, I always voted for Repubs in order to maintain the Senate.
I am not going to worry about this anymore. I worked hard to get Chambliss elected...his staff was rude and condescending to me. I hear Chambliss is being heckled across the state at his events-loud boos. It serves him right. I would never vote for him nor Isakson. I never much liked Isakson anyway, and his staff is even ruder then Chambliss’s staff. I hope you enjoy your retirement losers. Several Dems were elected in the southern part of the state in 2006. The GOP could lose GA just like Florida if they are not careful.
