Pete McCloskey (I ♥ moderate Republicans)

I just listened to an On Point interview with Pete McCloskey, who is running on the Republican ticket in California's 11th district this year.

This would be a return to politics for him, as he served in the House from 1967 to 1983. His platform today is based on disgust with his party's current policies, as well as the corruption brazenly running through it; his opponent in the state primaries will be Richard W. Pombo, who is currently entangled in the Abramoff mess. On the show he compares himself to Sens. McCain, Collins, and Snowe, which makes me listen to him. Yes, it's just words, but the willingness to even say them sets him apart from so many of his mouth-foaming colleagues who consider these folks RINOs for not being so thoroughly evil and insane as themselves.

I urge my Californian readers to give him a listen, and consider tossing a sawbuck his way (via his website) if they like what they hear. (Actually, I am considering doing this myself, if it makes sense for someone who is not a potential constituent to do so.)
