I'm from Muskegon Mi. Home of Karen Buie. Thanks for the nice words about her. She has just been invited to a Women's leadership with some pretty big names.<BR/>------------<BR/>http://www.topix.com/us-house/peter-hoekstra/2008/02/clerk-to-represent-county-at-summit<BR/>------------<BR/>Anyway looks like she is moving up and getting a chance to be heard.<BR/>I liked your reasoning about why conservatives don't win in urban settings. The logic is good. We as conservatives must keep our core truths uncompromised. Strategy and the like can vary. People need to feel they can trust someone before they will consider voting for them, especially if they need to change their party affilitation to do it. The only way I know to do that is to talk first hand with people, one on one. Off topic, but I was really upset with the Republican hierarchy when they replaced Butler as the nominee. You see what the affect of that was. To me we as republican were playing the same "do as I say, not as I do" mantra that we conservatives claim the Liberals are so good at.<BR/>I think that "Country Club" Republican Elizabeth Dole had the big han in on that one. Forgive me now I'm venting.<BR/><BR/>Live Dangerously be a Conservativelive dangerouslyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05667239977434492134noreply@blogger.com
