An anecdote of history. Denny Hastert, Kissinger types and the GOP establishment hated Sen Peter Fitzerald. Fitzgerald wanted to clean up the swamp in IL. Normally the senator of the same party as the president would have his pick of local AGs.

But the swamp was blocking Fitzerald. Did Fitgerald sell his vote on Alaska energy to McCain in return for McCain&Co support in fighting Fitzgerald’s turn to send appointments to Bush?

We often currently lose on two issues. Is it moral to sell out on one issue in exchange for winning on the other issue?

In a swing state it is difficult to win. Is it moral for candidates from two wings of the party to make a deal? I’ll get my supporters to vote for you also and you will get your supporters to vote for me.

This is the only way we can win.

Else we both lose.
