Who do we want as GOP standardbearers? My opinion is that we need officials who support the platform and reach out to the base, attracting moderates with logic and conviction. If you chase after the squishy center of the electorate, it will slip through your fingers like sand. If you build on your base, you can construct a campaign which is principled and attractive.

Cornyn that I considered his vote unprincipled and as a previous supporter could thus NOT vote for his 2008 re-election (voted for Libetarian first time evah!).   Everything Cornyn has done since re-election has done nothing but reaffirm my disappointment in Cornyn's performance.   I can only guess that Cornyn is still taking his marching orders from the Bush crowd?   Now that's a non-starter! . I am a Texan, but I'm sending a check to 'Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate' this weekend.   Screw the NRSC!
