If you want to know about the fight for the soul of the Republican party read this article. The first lines say it all.

I'm kinda liking Delaware's Mike Castle. I hope the article is correct in the possibility of the moderates staying moderate and gaining ground.

What are his views on spending, the deficit, big government and taxes? If "moderate" means compromising with liberals on these issues I would just as soon the Democrat wins as another RINO. Sooner or later the majority will see the error of piling up debt and when the inevitable economic disaster occurs those who have stood against the big spenders will be primed to take control and fix the problems. If the Republicans do not stand on principle then I see no choice but go the 3rd party route.

If I had a dollar for every time someone complained about the debt and spending w/o offering any constructive solutions, I could pay off the deficit! :roll:
