Not another Robinson


Carter Wrenn says U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole is no Vernon Robinson.

In a post on the Talking About Politics blog, the Republican political consultant said that U.S. Rep. Brad Miller surely did not enjoy discussing his wife's medical history during last year's re-election campaign after Robinson, his Republican opponent, "tactlessly" wondered why he doesn't have children.

But he argues that's not a reason for Miller to decide not to run for Senate. Wrenn points out that Dole does not have children herself and would never "in a thousand years" attack him on that point.

Congressman Miller’s explanation is ridiculous. Why couldn't he just say, Look, fellows, I've looked at running for Senate. And I'd probably lose. So, I’m going to stick with a sure thing and stay in the House.

Re: Not another Robinson

I wonder if Dole will be defecting from the treasonous President Bush soon.
Once, Bush could count on the support of the GOP "Solid South" to back his war in Iraq. However, we have been told that a number of Southern GOP senators and representatives, whose states have seen an inordinate percentage of dead and wounded in Iraq, will come out publicly against the continued U.S. military presence in Iraq.
