I also had time to read all the links this morning, so I have a better understanding of Craig's opinion.<br /><br />I'm so frustrated with our gaffe-seeking political elimination system. Instead of looking for people who can actually lead or stand on principles, the last man standing is the person who never accidentally says any thing controversial.aggierudy3https://www.blogger.com/profile/14611749490276368709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657912610170806601.post-1451929155970837892012-08-27T09:50:27.818-05:002012-08-27T09:50:27.818-05:00I guess that comment would have made more sense if...I guess that comment would have made more sense if I was signed in as MacKenzie :-)MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018963981535476477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657912610170806601.post-49115769361637273182012-08-26T20:23:08.764-05:002012-08-26T20:23:08.764-05:00I won't speak for Craig but for me it's th...I won't speak for Craig but for me it's the former. I have no problem with his position (in fact, putting his explanation aside, I agree with it) but I'm pragmatic and don't want him losing where another republican would win.
