Well here's a scenario for you. The Dems take the house in 2006 and start impeachment hearings. Things get real nasty and the general public is extremely turned off of politics - their all alike, there's no difference between the parties, etc. When 2008 rolls around we get a bunch of middle of the road moderates who promise to change the tone in Washington and make nice, nice. It doesn't sound like a fertile breeding ground for a "real conservative" to me.

---- And how is that is different that what we have today?????
I seem to remember something about "A New Tone" and kissing up to the democrats. Letting your opponents write the education & energy bills, setting the adgenda, sharing power.
And don't we already have our "middle of the road moderate" president today?
