We only have two partys, so the partys have to adjust in each state, and the one side fits all does not work. However, at the National level politicians like Delay don't understand that their bloviating makes our job much more difficult. Bush only goes as far as he has to. Delay runs his mouth ad nauseaum.

I'm being serious here. Let me know when Boxer's seat is up, and whether a (well-balanced economic conservative who won't spit in the face of the socially liberal electorate) decent opponent is available in your party (and to your liking). I'll raise funds for your guy in the east.
In terms of toeing the line, even numerous prominent Ds can say "I'm personally opposed to abortion, but am unwilling to take this away as an option to distressed women". Personally, I'd rather hear "I'm personally opposed to abortion, but its clear to me that the majority of the [city/state--according to RT, this country] electorate don't want abortion being outlawed, and the job I'm seeking is not to counter the will of the electorate". But I think the lines that the national Ds take on the national level should work for the local Rs at the local level... just not for the national Rs at the national level.
