RE: This election will not be won by us without them.
We have to remember that MANY independents ARE conservatives.
Take me for instance I am NOT a registered Republican, I belong to the Conservative Party of New York.
Yet, in the last election (2008) I pulled the lever for John McCain in order to PREVENT an Obama Presidency.
Am I considered an Independent? I would think so.
I am not a registered Republican either. Like you, I am a conservative independent.
Good point about conservative independents.
But moderates independents have to come to the light also...or stay home. That would work too.
