Lest we not forget the theocrats like Rick Santorum and Randy Graf that were resoundingly defeated also.

Lest we forget the primary challenge Lamar Alexander so rightfully deserves. I hope he fails miserably in his bid for Whip...if that loser is still trying for it. Title: Re: Republicans for Choice decimated Post by: MarkWarner08 on November 09, 2006, 06:33:21 PM I'm saddened that Jim Leach and Lincoln Chafee were forced to bear the brunt of the failure of the Bush-Republican Congress.

They could have saved themselves by switching parties.

Title: Re: Republicans for Choice decimated Post by: afleitch on November 10, 2006, 06:41:16 AM To be honest, the GOP clearly didn't care for the political futures of Leach, Chafee et al. They were seen as awkward and unwelcome. Chafee never got the support he deserved from his own men.

Title: Re: Republicans for Choice decimated Post by: gorkay on November 10, 2006, 10:39:33 AM The Democrats beat the Republicans to the center, mainly because the Republicans got caught assuming the same stuff that won them elections in the past would win them this year.
Lesson #1: If the GOP nominates a conservative for President in 2008, they will lose. Lesson #2: If the Dems nominate a liberal, it is they who will lose. Title: Re: Republicans for Choice decimated Post by: ○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└ on November 10, 2006, 03:58:35 PM Compare here:
