Summary

I have been following politics all my life. The first Republican convention I remember in which there was a contest was 1952, when Dwight D. Eisenhower narrowly outmaneuvered William Howard Taft to win.

I'm an Eisenhower Republican. Another way of phrasing that is to say I'm a Democrat.

Red State, the only way Obama looks like he's on the far left of the democratic party is is you are so far right that the horizon is somehwere in the middle.

Senator Bennett,

From this and other pieces you have written it has become apparent to me that you are caring, intelligent, and politically astute. The nation is the worse for your loss.

Radicalism will not benefit either party More..
