Today I propose a new rule, called The Fischer Doctrine. It concerns Republican candidates. It's like this: any GOPer who is reasonable enough that I would actually consider voting for them in the general election, can never actually be nominated ... No question, he was and is an American hero for his actions on 9/11. He is also quite moderate -- he is pro choice; pro stem cell research; pro gun control; pro civil unions, and on and on. ... Hizzoner is so moderate, in fact, that in a general election I might even consider voting for him. Which is why he'll never be the GOP nominee. Too darn reasonable for Iowa Republicans.
