Because Bush and those running the GOP are lukewarm conservatives. As result, if Bush loses, failing to capitalize on the support for traditional marriage may be his undoing.

It's just more evidence that getting Republican elected isn't good enough. Liberal Republicans must be shunned and enough conservatives need to step up and constantly apply pressure on Bush and those running the GOP.

The biggest issue if Bush gets reelected will be the issue of judges. If he doesn't have to run for reelection, it will be interesting to see if the judges are as conservative as they have been. There can be no more David Souters nominated .

Well, I think we're going to be disappointed there. The few who've been discussed as appellate nominees or potential SCOTUS nominees have been pro-abortion, pro-Roe RiNO's. "Economic conservative" Rotary Club types, similar to Kennedy and Souter (although Souter had no palpable track record -- and barely a pulse -- when he came up, so who knew?).

Both Reagan nominees, Kennedy and O'Connor continue to swing like a rusty gate. I think both of them voted with the majority in the Lawrence decision, which pretty much showed us what they're made of, juridically.
