Not that I believe in being in lock step with the party either. The problem we have in government is that we don’t have many independent thinkers and the ones we do have always don’t come to the right conclusions.<BR/>What Republicans should do is in the next election swallow their Republican pride and elect the Democrat into office and then spend the next two years prepping a good solid candidate for office. Unfortunately the last election was the time to do that as you could have gotten a high profile state elected official to run in ’08 without having to endanger their current position.David K.
