I agree. Even if it means holding the nose in the ballot box, we'll just have to take what we can get this time around and hope for better things in 2008. Nothing is worse than a rabid kook Democrat against a mushy middle "compassionate Conservative". Bush will get my vote. I'll wait and see what things are like possibly by 2006 when the political landscape for 2008 becomes more clearer. It's always nice to name drop and dream theoretical match ups, but we need to be realistic and start recruiting true Conservatives while we can so we can be ready to roll by 2008. Get Bush re-elected, then start planning for retention of Congress in 2006 and a Conservative GOP White House in 2008.
