Actually the title should be “Sensible Politician?”, I just wanted to get a dig in. A few weeks ago I was listening to the Commonwealth Club’s radio broadcast. The speaker for this particular show was Christine Todd Whitman. Normally I would have switched the channel but since I was in Alabama (don’t ask) my only other choices were country and religious stations. What I heard completely shocked me. She had very valid viewpoints and (gasp) I was actually agreeing with what she was saying. To paraphrase she thinks the Republican Party has been hijacked by “Social Fundamentalists” and only represent a small percentage of conservatives out there. I won’t recount the whole speech but I recommend hearing it for yourself.

    Not really a surprise what CTW said; she has long been in the “Left Wing” of the Republican Party – along with, among others, former Mass. gov William Weld.
    She is Absolutely right in saying that the Republican Party has been hi-jacked.
