Emphasis on culture wars and buzzy non-issues like tort reform will make it difficult for him to reach beyond traditional R strongholds. He may well be a man of good conscience, but the polarizing and divisive nature of primary politics does a good job of masking that.<br /><br />I'd love to see a social moderate Republican candidate with real environmental credentials ala Tom McCall or Bob Packwood, but the homogenization of the parties has probably put an end to those days.
