the "front runner" Norton, has had fundraisers held by McConnell and McCain in DC and is bought and paid for. I know Ken Buck isnt totally with us on foreign policy but i'd rather have him in the Senate than another sell out

actually it looks he is learning:

Buck jokes about his wife's concealed-weapons permit, proposes getting rid of the National Endowment for the Arts and urges that the military pick and choose its battles and quit nation-building.

We need to remember something guys. While we will always push for a return to traditional Republican non-interventionism, the process will likely be an incremental one, involving a gradual strengthening of candidates across the country.

Buck isn't the worst candidate by far. He's not one I'm going to donate to from Arizona, but if I were living in Colorado, I'd put a sign up on my yard.

I agree with this mentality. There is nothing wrong with giving incremental support based on the candidates positions on the issues. Even better, letting him know you are willing to place a sign but that financial support is withheld based on his/her certain positions. This gives you an opportunity to share your views with the candidate.

It is doubtful we will ever have an event that opens millions of eyes all at once. We need to open each pair of eyes one at a time.

On Tuesday, Buck got 37.86 percent of the vote to Norton's 37.74 percent.



I might call that one a tie... ;)

This is the neocon that C4L sold out for right?
