[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

I operate on the theory that the worst Republican is always better than the best Democrat.

A theory which hasn’t been proven wrong yet.

I make an exception for the late Congressman Larry McDonald D-GA who was brutally murdered by the Soviets on board KAL Flight 007 in 1983.

Susan Collins.

Your theory is already wrong. Now go do what is right for the country and vote principles, not party.

I operate on the theory that the worst Republican is always better than the best Democrat.

Acting on that theory has guaranteed the we get the worst Republicans ... and a bloated, abusive, unconstitutional government.

I operate on the theory that a deeply Red state like Mississippi can manage a moderate Democrat senator. It's not like this is Oregon that we're talking about.

The same can be said for Kentucky. I don't expect a Democrat senator in Kentucky to go all flaming radical liberal and survive a second election.

The question is what is the expected margin of victory? How many seats do we have to give and still maintain the majority? Right now, I'd settle for a narrow lead that doesn't include first McConnell and second Cochran.

As long as Republicans take the Senate, it doesn't matter how a Kentucky Democrat or Mississippi Democrat votes, as long as 1) Republicans still win the vote on bills, and 2) Republicans don't do something stupid like restore minority filibuster rights for nominees. Chances of #2 are reduced without McConnell in the Senate.

Wasn't always true. Zell Miller was more conservative than a lot of Republicans, including McCain. But then Zell retired, and that record retired with him.
