Ruffini dreams:
Right now, I yearn for the legislative acumen — and in this case, the spine — of Bob Dole, who rallied even John Chafee — Lincoln’s father — to oppose the 1993 Clinton stimulus… The GOP’s number one priority politically is to set into motion a series of events that will make Obama look more ineffective, partisan, and unpopular than he is today. Playing hard-to-get on the stimulus is one way to do it. And we need to set the stage for a unified and effective Republican opposition that will actually fight from top to bottom.
