Republicans have squandered the best chance they could have been given to lead, quite possibly for decades.

This is so true. I believe that there were many liberals out there who were open to conversion but they didn't have the guts to do it without strong leadership. I'm talking about people who have conservative tendencies, but wouldn't have the guts to stand up and admit it against "judgmental" liberals unless Bush and Congressional GOP's did.

If '94 taught me one thing it taught me this: when given a VERY CLEAR CHOICE between conservative and liberal ideals, most Americans will vote conservative. Not "moderate", not "moonbat middle of the road" and certainly not Clinton "new democRat" but CONSERVATIVE. I would still bank on it.
