The only committed conservatives I see mentioned ever are Pence and Tancredo.Name ID will rise with time.

Tancredo has name recognition. His silly statement about nuking Mecca has doomed any presidential ambitions, ever.

And Mike Pence has no platform from which to gain name recognition. He is not a "go to" guy when the press wants a comment on something, or for the Sunday shows.

So who's ever going to hear about him?

Klintoon had very little name recognition when he started as well in '90 leading up to '92. Name recognition will come when conservatives get energized behind a good conservative candidate ( and yes, that could be Pence) who doesn't give the shaft to the conservative majority voters who put him into office.

And Mike Pence has no platform from which to gain name recognition.

A few days ago we were discussing whether a small-government platform was viable in today's political atmosphere. Pence is, IMO, the perfect spokesman for this movement. I encourage you to look into him and reconsider your pessimism about the future of small-government conservatism.
