It could significantly damage the support from their base. Besides, they wouldn't be speaking to many register Republicans who are going to vote in the Republican primary anyway. If this type of debate was held after the primaries, Republicans would be more inclined engage in such a debate in an effort to appeal to a wider array of people. Whether it is right or wrong is one thing, but it is an essential move to avoid the debate and retain the support of the Republican base, which all the Republican candidates are concentrating on. It is less about Republicans not caring and more about fear of driving away conservative voters.DEFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347275147217283601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334477150153572969.post-56356119250593257282007-09-28T13:58:00.000-04:002007-09-28T13:58:00.000-04:00Hey Kris, perhaps you'd prefer David Duke, or a mo...Hey Kris, perhaps you'd prefer David Duke, or a more old-school pol like John C. Calhoun. They were pretty clear and honest. <BR/> <BR/>Meehan's right, in that it's about depriving folks of a fenuine option. Rudy governed, directly, the most number of Blacks; it's asinine he'd not attend. Instead, the folks were left to some pre-WW2 senile rants from Ron Paul and the ultimate anti-immigrant, Tom Tancredo. Thank God Huckabee and Brownback were there, else it would've been a full-blown, backwater event for prospective aldermans.C. P.

I'd rather politicians send clear messages about who they do not care about than pretend to care about everyone.

Majoirty rules, decides, and legislates. In effect, miniorities can be marginalized at any time, at the will of majority.Shariquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007197647171579375noreply@blogger.com
