"A moderate by definition is one of three things; somebody who sits around and waits for a majority to form and then joins it, a conservative who is pro-choice, or a liberal."

Neither Saxton nor Kulongoski support the measure because they are both dedicated to liberalism. But, Saxton was smart enough to fudge it until he first got McIntire's endorsement in the primaries.] (SJ)
