Interesting article I got from the *other* Republican

[wryter2000]

To clarify (so I don't run afoul of any rules). I do not support Republicans and do not support this one. I just thought a look at someone who might syphon off * votes might be interesting.

NEW HAMPSHIRE -- Covering the primary up here in this subzero battleground state, I've done a fair number of radio interviews. Callers ask if the primary race is really as absurd as it looks on television. I relay funny stories from the campaign trail, and we all have a good laugh at the expense of the Dems.

That was the routine until late last week, anyway, when lighthearted ribbing of liberals gave way to white-hot anger at President Bush, after his recent push for de facto "not an amnesty" amnesty for illegal immigrants. I took dozens of calls and was overwhelmed by the enormity and ferocity of the response.

The question was no longer "Is Clark the anti-Dean?" but, "Will a Buchanan come forward to challenge Bush?" "Betrayal" was an oft-used term. At a weekend college politics conference, forlorn-looking young Republicans with "Bush-Cheney" buttons on asked me who else was on the Republican ballot?

A while back someone spotted this guy Ashley running against *. I signed up for his e-mail newsletter to see what all was up. Of course, he's never going to get my vote :)
