Carol Platt Liebau: "Polarization" and "Electability"

"Polarization" and "Electability"

Dick Morris discusses the polarization factor and how it relates to some of the most oft-mentioned 2008 candidates.

Another way of thinking about polarization is as electability -- that is, polarizing candidates may be nominated, but they're unlikely to be elected. Kellyanne Conway -- one of the smartest women in politics, for my money -- has a different, and much-needed take on the topic here.

With all due respect, Carol, you fell into the trap. By saying that she's one of the smartest "women" you either do her (or all of us men) a disservice.

Just an opinion from one of yo7ur biggest fans!

We ran into a similar situation in Colorado in 2004. Bob Schaffer vs. Pete Coors in the primary. Coors and Co. spent a lot of money saying they had a better chance at beating Ken Salazar than Schaffer. I voted for Schaffer because he was much more solidly behind my values. Coors didn't beat Salazar because there was a lot of smearing about his big business attitude, and many conservatives couldn't vote for him because of his trashy beer commercials. Well, the rest is history and Ken Salazar is not the moderate he claimed to be. (I voted for Coors).

Traditional Jews do not write out the Word G-d in respect to the Commandment about taking the L-rds name in vein.

Thank you for asking
