Pete Wilson: the Return

While I find it hard to dislike anyone called a libertine at the Republican National Convention:

”Abortion is murder!” Ken Scott of Denver screamed at California Governor Pete Wilson, Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Maine Senator Olympia Snowe. ”Why are you part of the Republican Party when you’re breaking God’s law? You won’t be able to run and hide from God!”

”You guys are libertines,” one pro-choice advocate shouted back. ”Get out of our party!”

Pete Wilson carries a lot of baggage. Between energizing the Latino base and having a nice target painted on his back for his administration’s handing the energy system’s regulation over to the energy industry, he would probably not be the shoo-in some think.

What is this–find the Republican moderate to run?

Of course, the Club for Growth might take a dim view of him and Edgar.

I obviously agree, but another thing to keep in mind is that bloggers mostly point to articles by known members of the press and add context and commentary. I do very little actual reporting on the blog as do the others he mentions so the pseudonymity matters even less.
