In my ‘Tuesday Evening Quarterback’ post yesterday, I shared my belief that American conservatives, perhaps, would have preferred someone more like Ronald Reagan to be their team’s starting quarterback (i.e., presidential nominee) and mentioned Sen. Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-Okla.) as a worthwhile choice. Today, Senator Coburn released the following statement regarding last night’s election results [...]
