Well, I suppose we could run candidates with a regional, southern appeal

In the past 40 years, the only successful Democrat presidential candidates have been southerners of a more or less social conservative bent.

There's a reason for that.

Republicans can't win by appealing to social liberals; Democrats can't win except by appealing to social conservatives.

If you think we can win by talking about Michael Schiavo, sexy novels, and stemcell research, you're wrong.

We will win by putting terrorism and the economy front and center, not by ceding those issues to Hillary! Clinton.

That means we send up one of our big hitters. Giuliani convinced me this year when he argued that it is our right as Republicans to politicize the war on terror, since wars are inherently political and Republicans have a right to make our case.

We have an opportunity the p'nwn the Democrats in a big way and take back the Congress. Social conservatives of all people should see the value of this, since we're one judge away from overturning Roe v Wade and sending the issue back to the states. In contrast, Hillary! would pack the high court with two or three more activist judges and set the pro-family movement back decades.

Think. Please. Don't be a DUmmie.
