Ehrlich Upsets The Base

In this election year, our right-wing governor Bob Ehrlich is attempting an "extreme makeover" to seem more moderate so he can win back those swing and Democratic voters he's lost as his administration tilted to the right. The problem is, his hardcore rightie base doesn't like it at all - they want their red meat. These folks on FreeRepublic are complaining that his choice of a blind running mate is a sop to the forces of "political correctness". He just can't win. Ehrlich's turned off the voters that helped his previously narrow victory, and now in election time as he tries to remake himself - he tells his people they might as well stay at home.
