Traditional Smaller Governemtn Conservatism is not in conflict with the "Christian right" (though there are more than Christians that discribe themselves as "social conservatives".

Don't forget RR was both!

Why do we need to pick one over the other: With all due respect lets skip those whom want to divide the conservative movement and pick someone whom can represent ALL forms of RR Conservative..

On Hagel, I'll Pass for now..
