Lighten up...no one was lecturing anyone. I was talking about the 2008 Presidential election, not Colorado. Plenty of conservatives, uninspired by the RINO McCain, stayed home. That's a cold hard fact. You ARE right that conservatives will turn out in droves for a conservative candidate IF we can get them on the ballot. We didn't have one on the 2008 ballot, and Obama beat him like a drum.
OK, we’re on the same page and my apologies for over-reacting. And I agree w/you about getting the right conservative candidates on the ballot - it’s critical. Bottom line is that NOW IS THE TIME to influence the ballot. We must realize we’ll have to work twice as hard to overcome the other side’s illegal stuffing of the ballot box. But it CAN be done.
