What do you guys think?

I think picking someone "electable" has set back the small government conservative movement back at least 40 years.

If no one that was even marginally conservative was elected in the last 40 years, there would be no Conservative movement left, at least not one that was made up of anybody not in the fringe of the movement, and that would be a very small number as of now.

You have to be in the game to play it......

So running someone that was not “electable” would’ve been better? I believe we’d be coming up on the end of President Al Gore’s 2nd term now, had we chosen an unelectable candidate.

How, exactly, would that be a step FORWARD for small government conservatives?
