No, that would make him a Republican Senator. In answer to Ronn's question: They might well see him for what he is: a hypocrite. And, if they were willing to do so, they would see the hypocrisy in their own lives, and recognize the need in him and themselves to seek forgiveness and repentance. Otherwise, they might resort to self-righteousness and post carping replies to an Internet mailing list.
