Reply #8: I know - I just got done having the conversation with a Blouin supporter

[Debi]

The 'Culver won't beat Nussle because moderate republicans won't vote for him the way they'll vote for Blouin' conversation. WHAT?

Please tell me the last time a moderate republican voted any way other than republican? (Then again, since Blouin is a republican maybe that's why they'll vote for him...in the primary so Nussle can blow him out of the water in the general). republicans ALWAYS go home, they will ALL vote for Nussle in the general.

Our job is to have a candidate that 'no party' voters can support. A candidate who hasn't lied about their support for women's rights, a candidate who hasn't screwed workers while working with republican groups and then given tax-breaks and forgivable loans to republican companies (and waived the livable wage requirements of those loans) and then claimed to be worker friendly. We need a candidate that won his last election(!) and has won state-wide...TWICE. We need a candidate who, when he talks about being a teacher in the classroom, isn't receiving his IPERS pension and can actually remember some of his lesson plans. We need a YOUNG leader who has NEW ideas and can draw in NEW voters. We don't need a candidate who bullied people who disagree with him, who lies about his record and who supports republicans.
