[Phaedrus]

Here's the winning Conservative political strategy and the answer to all the RINO gamesmanship. The article should be published as a column or a letter in the Wall Street Journal.

Thanks for the kind words, Phaedrus. If I really thought it were publishable at that level, I would have to rewrite it much tighter and eliminate inconsistencies and klang phrases that found their way into it. I essentially wrote it in one go over about a 40 minute time span (I was in a rush to get get done so I could get to the Saturday "honey do" list),

The thought behind it has been forming for several months, however.

The point is to encourage Bush's uncritical supporters to think beyond the knee-jerk reponse that life will somehow end if Bush is not re-elected. Of course life will continue. If conservatives prepare intelligently, the result might well be an improvement over where we are now and where Bush is taking us.

Tacking against the wind isn't easy, but sometimes it's necessary.
