Honestly how much separation is there between Crist and Obama? To endorse Crist in a primary is an insult to the base. Republicans in the Senate cannot complain about runaway spending and endorse Charlie Crist. Senator Cornyn it is not too late to back Marco.

I am in Florida and I am planning to change my affiliation from Indp. to Republican to do everything I can to keep Crist from winning the nomination. I may ultimately have to vote for him if he wins the primary but he’s going to get a real clear idea of who the base is before it happens.

A full-on slap would see their donations dry up and recall petitions circulated.

Sounds like a good plan, plus donations to Marco Rubio, and others whom the RINO machine hates.

“Slapped around” is a bit much – more like a polite tap on the shoulder to remind ‘em who brung ‘em to the party, to get back to dancin’ with their pardner, get ‘em to quit watching mud wrestling on the tv….

Glad to see the NRSC is getting slapped around on this…they need to be trained to obey the base. They need to be called out every time they defy the base and punched in the nose…eventually, they will learn that they really aren’t in charge…think of it as a ‘opportunity to listen’ from ground up.

Cornyn needs to get Texas heat. He’s been in New England recruiting more Democrat lite candidates. Now this. Psst Senator Cornyn, We had a block party when Specter returned to being a Democrat. Stop infecting our party with pseudo Republicans. We do have a platform……… does anyone ever read it?

Greer is Chaingang Charlie’s handpicked state party chair. This thing may be over before it even starts.
