And What About the Values Vote?

Yesterday was primary day in several states, one of the latest to occur in the year, and the pundits are poring over the vote totals like tea leaves, trying to discern hints of what November 7 will bring. Their work is cut out for them. Veteran political observer Charlie Cook, who will speak to the FRC Action Washington Briefing next week, says that conservative voters face a "motivation deficit" going into the fall elections. He notes a "generation gap" among the pundits: older observers see major losses for the GOP and younger ones, including party operatives, see smaller losses but continued GOP control of the House and Senate. Analyzing the role of values voters, it's hard to discern any motivation gap in the results so far. In Rhode Island, liberal Republican Lincoln Chafee won the GOP primary yesterday, but his feisty challenger, Cranston Mayor Steve Laffey, said little about social issues and matched Chafee's opposition to the Federal Marriage Amendment. Laffey campaigned against both parties in Washington and stressed the economy. In Arizona's 8th Congressional District GOP primary, voters selected Randy Graf over the national GOP's handpicked choice, Steve Huffman, by a 43-37% margin. Graf embraced the right to life and traditional marriage and voters responded.

Why did the the Family Research Council (FRP) chose to ignore the fact that Randy Graf defeated Huffman due to his stand on immigration? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Huffman also embrace the right to life and traditional marriage? Some of these organizations just amaze me with their obvious attempt at ignoring the illegal immigrant issue. The RNC and DNC, along with a lot of organizations, do the same thing. To listen to some of these folks, you'd think there was no such thing as an illegal immigrant in the United States.

Many of these organizations have long-established symbiotic relationships with the RNC. They feel "special" from that association. Good dogs don't bite the hand that feeds.
