There is an article named, 'Don't count out the Conservatives.' I tend to agree but with caveats. If the 'purists' do what they did in Nov., '06, get in a snit and stay at home, vote for Dems out of spite or waste their vote with some silly Third Party, then you can count them out. I can state, as a conservChristianPub, that I will not stay at home in 2008. I will vote for President and all the down tickets even though I am stuck in the soviet republic of California! If Rudy G is the candidate and if Arnold has any sway then, perhaps Rudy can actually capture the state. Of course, for conservs out here to vote for Rudy, it would take a conserv VP on the ticket. I know that conservs are waiting for Ronald Reagan redux. It is not going to happen. Newt will probably not run after his mea culpa with Dr. Dobson. He probably wants to be a King Maker anyhow. Fred Thompson is simply not a President though he plays one on TV and movies sometimes. Would make a fine VP though. Whoever gets the Pub nomination needs to win some Blue states. That is a necessity. If Rudy is on top of the ticket, he needs a good solid conservative to draw back the recalcitrant conservs who whine about losing and yet contribute to that very thing. So, don't count out conservatives but don't count them in if they stay in a snit which would doom this Republic to more Dem-leftist-socialist leadership and thus dooming our national security.
