The story from Herdon VA is particularly encouraging.

Living in the Tampa area, I meet many from Mexico, and the other Central American
countries. I don't recall ever meeting an illegal, I might have.
I always work into the conversation, citizenship one way
or another.
That being said, 9 out of 10 Hispanics I've talked to believe in the conservative
school of thought. Family seems to be the utmost important part of their lives.
Along with that is the right to life. The don't even talk about abortion,
it seems taboo to them.
Thats all, maybe the folks I talk to are exceptional cases, but there is a pattern there.

I think that from the current mix he is the best the conservative movement has to offer at the time. In my opinion he far exceeds anyone else on the scene in a combination of conservative bonafides,intelligence and political know how.

Reps had the fortitude to oust their RINO incumbents.
Dems publicly howled and squealed, then pulled the lever for their overlords like good little serfs. Well, except for some western "yellowdogs" with a bit more gumption than their "plantation" brethren.
BTW, we lost about 30 incumbents to "retirement", too. So there is a broader shake-up than the voting indicates.

There would be NO "gridlock" and the rest of your post is codswallop.

To: nopardons
There would be NO "gridlock Actually, you're right. Whether it is a democrat controlled Senate or a republican controlled Senate we will still have the same thing... social security for illegals, record spending and continued banning of drilling our own oil.

Because you can use conservative resources to REMOVE a Dem from office. You can count on a Dem doing enough damage that the conservative base will turn out and vote them out of office. You CANT count on the base to turn out a RINO.
To: Mind-numbed Robot
Well it is a good thing that no one has appointed you the decider of who has the right to vote then.
The point you seem to be missing is that when there is NO DIFFERENCE between a RINO and a Dem... it does not matter who you vote for. Since we want to CHANGE who is in office, loosing one term to a Dem so that you can replace that RINO with a conservative is painful medicine for sure... but that is a better long term strategy than simply sit there with festering RINO who is voting like a Dem anyway.

We have to work our tails off to ensure that the traitor John McCain does NOT become the Republian nominee.
I changed my registration this year from Libertarian to GOP. Not so I could vote FOR someone, but so I could vote AGAINST John McCain and Kevin Mannix in the Oregon governors primary.
To: irv
Excellent point. Even a RINO gives more power to Republican Conservatives than a Democrat does. Unless it's Arlen Specter. Arlen Specter fiercely defended Clarence Thomas' supreme court nomination. He went after Anita Hill with a vengence. He also voted for Alito and Roberts. Even as sorry as he is, he's still miles ahead of most dems.

"There are a few decent Dems;.."
No (or little) doubt about that. I voted for McGovern just after my 18th, and then later I voted for Carter twice. I had been working long hours on the night shift, and I had little kids. I had no time to really pay attention to things.
Years later, I saw the 1984 Mondale abomination of a campaign, and I was absolutely horrified by the POS Dikakis in 1988.
I have never voted for a Democrat since 1980, and other than "W" in 2004 I have never voted for a single incumbent for any office since 1980. I'm still pissed about my Perot vote in 1992.
I am simply for the last twenty or so years, an angry white male.

Now, you're just being ridiculous...except for the part about my being right; that's the ONLY thing that you've managed to state correctly. :-)
To: nopardons
Newtie has no chance! Conservatives ( and they are the ones who show up to vote in primaries...in the majority ! ) have long memories and know exactly who and what Newtie is
Than we are doomed. I will not vote for an adulter. If you can't keep your first set of promises, than I can't trust that he will pull or not pull the trigger if necessary. Heck with him. He is a complete and big loser.
To: Savage Beast
Right Limpy Graham needs to go. What a back stabbing little creep he has become.
To: kalee
...they keep trying to shove Guiliani and McCain at us and telling candidates to move to the center.I'll never vote for either of those (excuse the term) douchebags. I will first vote in the primary. Then, if that fails, I'll vote with my feet... neither of them are a dimes worth of difference than any Demo-rat.
To: Jim Robinson
Another one to add to the tally: In the recent mayoral election in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the incumbent Republican mayor in one of the most strongly Republican cities in the U.S. got his ass kicked by his Democrat challenger.
Why, you ask? Sucking up to the old money in town and foisting off a Keynesian big-spending deal on the electorate had a lot to do with it...
