Again, the classic issue of ideological adherence vs. electability.

Yes, that is exactly the issue. It is true however that Dole could have more "ideological adherence" to conservative ideas and still be quite electable , but that isn't an option, the Republicans are wither going to support her or find another candidate she's not going to change.

I don't know. Is Dole electable? Presumably the people of NC. chose Helms 5 times because of his conservative principles not his sparkling personality (but maybe I’m wrong – never been to NC)

But if it was his conservative principles they liked, what’s going to motivate them to vote for Jim Jeffords in a skirt?
