Chuckle Berries: Repubs For English?

Our friends at Chokecherries (the blog site of the very, very conservative R wing, posted anonymously) has broken down the primary election results, handing out plent of Razzberries to Real Reagan Republicans-backed candidates. Of particular interest here, is this comment about Ed Morse's win over United Conservatives of North Idaho-backed Rep. Phil Hart: "Morse…squeeker…and a dirty one at that…Mayo Man will crash and burn quickly…Republicans for English anyone? (We know…eeeewwwweee…but even Dan would be more palatable than Mayo Man) Hart’s loss was entirely the fault of his “friend” Ron V! (We predict that Phil will be back!)" Republicans For English? (BTW, I agree w/Chokecherries that Hart will be back, for those keeping score at home.) Full Chokecherries post here.

Question: In the old days, the late Ron Rankin often said to me that he'd prefer a Democrat in office to a moderate Republican. I don't consider Ed Morse to be a moderate Republican. But do you think UCNI disciples will climb aboard the U.S.S. Dan English this fall?
