Someone who is a conservative has nothing to be afraid of in courting conservatives. Especially social conservatives. When the GOP hustles for votes from these folks during the campaign season and then doesn't deliver on its promises, people get cynical. They may not vote for the Democrats but if they're not excited, they won't show up in the voting booth. The current field doesn't leave conservatives enthused for next fall.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
