That's why you won't ever lead the party. Not that you couldn't if you wanted to, but you don't want to.

I have repeatedly said since I started this thread the coming political battle in the Republican party is between the eagles and the social conservatives. Right now the social conservatives rule. That is because the southern Republicans rule.

It will take an electable Calfornia eagle to change that. The votes there and in other moderate states like Penn will swing the balance from the south. But it's a way off yet. TWT.

Leading the Republican base is like herding cats. We'll fallow you as long as you are going in the direction we were going anyway.

Plus, we're less easily bribed with crunchy dog biscut progams and promises of help.

Some lead, some follow.

One thing the save Terri crowd is spoiling for is a fight against the judiciary. Willing to lead that battle?

Well, frankly, CB, and just, as they say, between you, me, and the lampost, I hope you push it very hard. It will help the Dems organize against Bush's Supreme Court worst possible Federal judiciary appointments. Not to speak of the upcoming battle over the supreme court appointments. So, go to it.
