I agree that we should stop sniping at each other. A nasty primary in TN would make the Rats very happy and not help our cause. Liberal Republicans make me ill too, but as you said Lamar is not one. He's a moderate who although is a bit dated, seems to have a better shot than Bryant.

As for pro abortion, gun control Republicans, I have and would vote for them in certain circumstances. Being from NJ, I voted for Christie Todd Whitman. What else could I do, vote for Florio? If I lived in NY I certainly would have voted for Rudy. No way would a real conservative win there.

As I said in a previous post, I have alot of respect for Ed Bryant, I just think Lamar has a better shot. It's better to have a united party than a nasty primary with soundbites that will come back to haunt us.

The only "Republican" I woundn't vote for is McCain. He is an egotist with no loyalty. I loathe the guy.

Alexander will toe the line if elected - I seriously doubt he could do much damage to the party in a first term anyway. I guess that's the best thing I could say for him, but he is at heart a tax-and-spend Republican.
