Everyone with a point of view north of middle-of-the-road should remember the common-sense, down-to-earth advice of Ronald Reagan, and then follow it: “You should vote for the MOST CONSERVATIVE candidate…that can WIN!” This means you swallow your all-or-nothing point of view when you have to but still work to get what you want before that. We have the true “big tent” and we need to remember that. Despite what conservatives say about Arlen Specter and his fellow liberal Republicans, it’s important to remember that they still are Republicans, and just being that takes a lot in the Northeast USA. Even if they vote only part of the time with conservatives, it’s smart to recall the smart words of Hubert Humphrey: “Better half a loaf than no loaf at all”. Enough said.
