You're kidding, right?
Conservatives win even in traditional democratic strongholds when they know how to lead, instruct and stay connected with the common people. Reagan did it on a grand scale, but there are hundreds of Brent Schundlers out there who can do it locally. The key is to get them past the party machinery who prefers to choose from within the inbred country club crowd.
Huber is right, conservatives can win and have won and will in the future win in Democrat-leaning districts.
If your "majority" is provided by liberals (oops, "centrists"), what do you expect to accomplish?? Not much, and eventually the voters will get tired of your nothingness and toss you out on the street with little to show for your years in the "majority".
That goes for both RINOs and 'conservative' reps who become fat, complacent, and tone-deaf.
"Conservatives win even in traditional democratic strongholds when they know how to lead, instruct and stay connected with the common people. Reagan did it on a grand scale, but there are hundreds of Brent Schundlers out there who can do it locally."
Erm. Didn't Brent Schundler lose? Like, badly?
"The key is to get them past the party machinery who prefers to choose from within the inbred country club crowd."
While that particular malady does go on in a lot of local Republican parties across the country, I don't think that's the issue with New Jersey. This state has just gone despicably and hopelessly liberal, and nothing I can see will change that. If they could vote for Menendez with all the fraud he's been caught at, there's no hope - the voters here will just pull the "D" no matter who the candidates are. They're not even paying attention anymore, so I don't think the conservative's ability to "lead" and "instruct" really makes much difference anymore, I'm sorry to say.
