I don't feel bad about Smith at all; BS is a liability. Next week he might get a wild hair and join the Greens. Wishy-washy conservatives are ultimately a liability. If Smith beats Sununu, loses to Shaheen in the general, and the Dems hold a one sear majority come Jan 3rd 2003, then Smith will have cost the conservative movement, not helped it. Like Buchanan, he is now more of a liability than an asset. BTW, "vote-getter" Bob just barely eked out a victory in his last election; so, diehard Republicans like myself, the very ones who put him into ofc, are not going to be that charitable this time around. If nothing changes between now and primary day, Sununu will bop "Bobert" right out of ofc. And Smith, being the moron that he is, will probably run as a 3rd party candidate and hand the election to Shaheen anyway. I can see him joining the LP; as stupid and ridiculous as he acted in 2000, his defection to the LP would be totally consistent and in line with those actions 2 years ago.....
