Flat-top Bob to the Right of Lindsey?
Jim Antle had an interesting piece on the Democratic challenger Bob Conley. Bob is actually to the right of Lindsey on most issues. After winning his primary with just over 1,000 votes, here’s what his challenger Michael Cone had to say: “We’ve nominated a Republican in a Democratic primary.”
Conley is a Ron Paul Democrat and says a lot of things that a conservative Republican would like. Like Ron Paul, it’s when he starts talking about “occupation” in Iraq that the dissappointment sets in for some. Like Mark McBride, he’s a long shot to upset Lindsey. The questions now are whether he’ll be able to attract more disaffected Republicans than McBride and whether Obama’s long coat tails in SC will get him within reach of a win. Either way, this should turn out to be an interesting race, particularly with Lindsey being forced to say things like this: “From what I can tell, he doesn’t represent moderation. I represent a brand of conservatism that you will feel comfortable with.”
