Let's chill a moment before counting dragons before their eggs have hatched. Let's see if the movement to write in the esteemed Representative from Colorado in the Primaries has the desired effect of reining in the President and herding the RINOs. If that fails THEN we conservatives can discuss scorched-earth strategeries.

We need to start discussing these things now. There is always a terrific lag between the shaping of the political debate and its influence on the positions of the candidates.

The earlier we discuss these thing--the more debate that is ignited among Republicans--the better chance we have of getting the right result both now and in 2008.

The right result could include a chastened George W. Bush, recommitted to conservative principles.

Sitting on our hands will accomplish nothing but will merely ensure we are unprepared for the worst. The US is like the Titanic. There is precious little time to start braking or changing course. Instead waiting to see whether collision is inevitable, we would be wise to start mapping our a contingency plan post-iceberg now.

Maybe Captain Bush and First Mate Rove will hear the angry, agitated debate, wake up, and start steering right.
