>> ... vote in the most conservative republican who can actually get elected in that district rather than lose

Good point regarding what’s possible in a Blue state, but I’m not sure the Romney half-measures dilemma served us well.

Looking passed the irrationally cathartic election of 2008, would we be better off today if we refused to elect the Romney, Ryan, McCarthy types in both the General and Midterm elections? That’s an impossible question to answer conversationally, but no doubt aggregates of the Congressional voting patterns since then might give a clue. I’d might consider looking into that if I had nothing more serious to do.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. I still think William F. Buckley Jr’s advice holds. To elect the most conservative republican who CAN WIN in the district they are running in. Please if anyone has better suggestions speak up. Electing Democrats instead seems worthless.

Johnson became a dissapointment more and more every day.
