Oh I'm not really stuck on anything, I'm just playing the devils advocate because the over whelming numbers here lean hard right. But your point is spot on. In fact, I see a mellowing of "hard right" here on CC and it allows for a spirited discussion and a real learning experience.
Having said that, oh yeah, the Repubs are going down in flames man!
We don't want to get so close to the middle we become vanilla flavored after all.
Yup, actually a good thing Dodd is out, projections were he didn't have a chance at winning anyway. I wouldn't underestimate the money factor when it comes to campaigning. Lack of it could in fact be a serious problem for the Repub's in the mid terms.
