Comments on: GOP: SLOUCHING TOWARD THE WILDERNESS? http://rightwingnuthouse.com/archives/2006/08/23/gop-slouching-toward-the-wilderness/ Politics served up with a smile... And a stilletto.

That's my question to Republican incumbents running this year: Why in the world should I vote for you? The only answers I can get are all negatives: "So X doesn't happen." It's not working on me, but there's no elections in any of my districts this year, anyway (everyone from dog catcher to US House Rep is unopposed). Indeed, a good analysis.

They absolutely savaged him. Huge difference. And there are going to be relatively few righty bloggers that will care about Chafee. Certainly they won't devote wall to wall coverage of trying to unseat him. Yes there will be a couple. But Reynolds, Morrissey, Powerline, Malkin, and even RedState will not waste their time.

Can't find one. I assume you're waiting to post it until you can add some content about Frank Murkowski. Or do you only do posts like that when the Democrats decide to vote out candidates who no longer represent their views? Speaking of Chafee, I’m still waiting for that “Chafee Inquisition” post.

Now I dont really think your are that...so I'll make you a deal, I won't bash you if you don't bash me (nowdays, I guess it's dish). So..about me..61 yrs old...grew up in Virginia and Florida...a southern boy...got a BA in history, political science and georgraphy at the University of Colarado in the ....oh my..the turbulent 60s. Went to Vietnam as a Repubilcan (voted for Richard)....came back as nothing. Got my BS and MS in marine sciences at the University of West Florida years ago...spent the last 25 years working for the EPA as a research biologist...now retired. So thats me...I dont really care what party is in power...so long as they comport themselves in a responsible and intellegent manner. So...do we dance or do we not?

I remember watching the old Capital Gang on the eve of the 94 midterms, and Margaret Carlson, Al Hunt et al were all denying the Republicans had any shot. I especially remember Mark Shields saying the Republicans had made a mistake in nationalizing the elections.Ha! What I remember most of all is Bob Novak accurately predicting the Republican takeover-one of the few, if not only, pundits to do so. I remember it so well because I was so psyched for that 94 victory. Now-if Repubs hold on the House, I don't really care.To say the Republican revolution has been betrayed is an understatement. True, the American people had a lot to do with it, but the Repubs never proffered the slightest resistance. Remember when we used to rally around cries of abolishing the Department of Education? It was in the official platform! 12 years in and a bill has never even been introduced?! Pathetic. Oh yeah, Dems are weak on terror etc. I don't really give a rats ass-it's not like the Repub congress is doing a damn thing either. Bush will still be in charge, and maybe a Dem takeover will get his mind right. Funny you mention an Evans-Novak study.
