If enough conservatives sit out or try to “teach a lesson to Republicans” in Nov. 2010 and NOT repeat 1994, the Dems will have their “mandate” and will get going on the bans.

Conservatives didn't stay home in 2006 & 2008. They lost the vote from moderates & independents each time. Staying home makes no sense. Why empower the left? The time to take care of RINOs is the primary.

Had McCain chosen a moderate as his running mate rather than Sarah Palin, his margin of defeat would have been wider. Had McCain denounced the first TARP bailout rather than lining up in its support even more quickly than did Obama, he might have won, or made it a closer race than it turned out to be.
