Yankee Repubicans nearly extinct?
The Associated Press writes today that Sen. Mike DeWine's loss in Ohio is another example of the steady decline of "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" GOP lawmakers:
"The defeat of Chafee, arguably the most liberal GOP senator, and Ohio Sen. Mike DeWine, who at times aligned himself with GOP moderates, leaves Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, both of Maine, and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania as perhaps the only reliably centrist Republicans in the Senate."

What do you think? Was DeWine's loss to Democrat Sherrod Brown last week due to his centrist positions - or in spite of them?

Post a Comment*People can say this was about Iraq - I think it was about corruption ( no bid contracts, oil deals, etc.) DeWine was caught up in it - and rightfully so. As many state wide candidates were. Chabot, was a regional race, and was able to rely on his reputation and strong personal relationships to be forgiving of his same bad ways. I think he will do better and prove deserving of that forgiveness.
The only center these fools are at is the most corrupt government we've ever had. Vote all of these bums out next time.
The voting public is not as dumb as the media thinks. Dewine is hardly a fiscal conservative or social moderate. Conservatives don't give tax cuts to the rich and then run up record deficits. Moderates do not oppose abortion and stem-cell research. Quit using lazy, inaccurate labels.
It is safari time.
Track the dung and enforce open season on the elephant herd !
Certainly, a species we can live without !
