On the Ed Schultz show. I honestly don't understand the rationale behind this. I know he's a target of the Bush bots in the next election cycle, but Jeebus!
6. If getting elected means you have to curtail your principles
then why even run for office in a state like Nebraska as a Democrat. Might as well be a Republican if it means that to be elected you have to support the Bushites half the time. But I honestly don't think that is the case. Nebraksa has had people like Bob Kerrey and Jim Exon in the US Senate and they were pretty solid Democrats. I don't think just because you represent a red state that you can't act like a Democrat--I think people will admire you if you stand for what you believe and give them the rationale in a straight and honest way.
