If she does the latter, she wins easily, as our poll from a few weeks ago showed. Basically, if Snowe's on the ballot, she's a shoo-in.Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-54024642071617777822011-03-25T13:02:18.562-05:002011-03-25T13:02:18.562-05:00I agree that this is good news for the GOP establi...I agree that this is good news for the GOP establishment. If GOP primary voters are willing to go along with a less insane GOP presidential nominee then they have a chance of beating Obama. <br /><br />But if they pick a complete loon like Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann or a terribly unlikable SOB like Newt Gingrich then they have no chance at all.<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />And of course this goes for Senate primaries too.

These are the true believers in the 'rightful' dominance of faith over reason and of the glory of unrestrained power of the rich over everyone else. <br /><br />These people want a further purge of people 'not conservative enough' from their Party with the understanding that (because they tend to seek out like-minded associates and sources of news and opinion) anything liberal is evil. These people 'know' that America is on the brink of a new era of hierarchy and faith because they know nobody whose political or religious views disagree with theirs except for 'freaks' and 'radicals' as described by Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.<br /><br />A good analogy is to alcoholics who claim that "Everyone drinks!", the perception depending upon the fact that alcoholics themselves heavily congregate in the booze-sodden world. The dirty secret is that such people avoid places in which sobriety is the norm.<br /><br />Goldwater supporters in 1964 and McGovern Supporters in 1972 were the happiest people ever with their candidates. Of course, the moderates decide a Presidential election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-76092348814009739362011-03-24T16:02:43.077-05:002011-03-24T16:02:43.077-05:00Doesn't really jibe with your state polls thou...Doesn't really jibe with your state polls though does it.
