Not to mention having a history with the Sununu family dynasty.

The Sununus are not right wing but traditional conservative Republicans in the Bush mold.

Conservative Republicans are right-wing. The distinction is between fascism and merely being on the right.

I'm talking about traditional conservative Republicans in the Bush mold, not conservative Republicans in general.

Tom DeLay was right wing. However, President Bush was conservative on quite a number of issues while being moderate on others. Comprehensive immigration reform efforts during Bush's time were not right wing. President George HW Bush also raised taxes during his time.

Also, regarding the Sununus, they are not right wingers. Per On the Issues, NH Governor Chris Sununu and his brother, former US Senator John Sununu.

Regarding John Sununu, he had a similar environmental record as John McCain when being in the Senate.

Moderate conservatives, certainly including McCain, are still right-wing! Supporting the destruction of the environment is not a conservative value, if you think about it. The Sununus are opposed to abortion rights, aren't they?
