July 21, 2005Introducing the Mind of Chris BattlesJeremy posted a link to a new moderate Republican blogger named Chris Battles. I went and checked him out and thought he deserved a blip here at Centerfield. Battles is an amiable, intelligent, and young proud RINO. His only fault is that he attends a Big Ten school; Chris is a Buckeye majoring in political science and business. So far he has written posts on, among other issues: how to stick it to Bush, Harry Potter's standing in the Catholic Church, the scandal regarding a certain WH employee whose name I dare not mention, and his pick for 2008: New York Governor George Pataki. I like Pataki also. He would be a good President, but I am concerned that moderate Republicans are going to blow their opportunity to put a middle-of-the-roader on the ticket if we crowd the primaries, and I would prefer McCain or Giuliani over the Guv. That been said, it is good to know that there are more moderate Republicans in the blogosphere, and I look forward to much more From the Mind of Chris Battles. Comments
My boss is friends with a high level staffer in Pataki's NY office. Despite Pataki's recent Iowa appearance, according to the staffer the Gov. won't run for President in '08. Posted by: Scott at July 21, 2005 10:03 AM |
