How would the Senate be tied? If the election is so divided, that there is no electoral College winner, the GOP would NOT have gained back any seats.

The GOP wouldn't neccessarily have to have a majority of members in the House, just a majority of state delegations. The members do not vote individually but instead as states.

So you guys are saying that all we have to do to beat the democraps is to be just like them, ie, pro abortion, pro gay rights, pro illegal alien, pro gun control?

No thanks to all that rubbish.

I was just coming up with a hypothetical situation. Not saying the Senate will be 50-50 after the next election. Just mentioned it because it would be a quirky situation.

Our precinct was in my neighbor's garage and we had to measure the footage so I could keep my Reagan signs in the yard -- all to one side away from the garage! Never voted in a garage in my life until we moved to SoCal.

"Our party has apparently deserted us."

Our party has deserted it's constitutional courage instituted by the founders!!! They MUST have conservatives to win, yet they are embarrassed and offended by our well founded positions of the issues!!!

America, yes, even CA really has nothing against conservatism. But they sure won't elect a timid support of timid non-conservative candidates trying to court genuine conservatives!!!

In other words, it's a few in positions of Party "leadership," that have deserted us, yet somehow expect us to work like stupid slaves for what they want and none of what we want! Go figure!!!

Democrats, many of them, will still come across and support good strong articulate conservative candidates.

I talked at length this past week with a strong southern DemocraTICK activist who was just as upset at the Republicans for wild drunken spending and squandering while trying to fight a gutless PC war. He knows the Dems won't do what's right either and was disappointed the Repubs turned in to fiscal Dems!!!

out on the regular blogs you can see people talking about how they haven't voted Republican for years but will make "an exception" for Rudy.
Those voters, who might have stayed home, will show up, vote for Rudy, and then vote down-ticket democrat.

You are absolutely correct. Just as it happened here in CA.

If the election is that much of a mess, that it gets thrown into the House and Senate, the GOP will NOT have retaken either House; let alone both. And I don't see this happening anyway.

Not at all. I don't believe Rudy is strident about any of that stuff - - I suspect it's all pretty far down on his priority list. It's certainly not the kind of stuff he focuses on.

Rudy doesn't scare me at all. (By the way, the liberals absolutely HATE Rudy.)
Plus:

1. Rudy says he will appoint judges like Roberts, Alito, and Scalia. I believe him.
2. Congress is where crap like "gay rights" and gun control get foisted on the country. If Rudy wins, he will likely bring a GOP Congress with him, effectively knocking "gay rights" and gun control off the radar screen.

I would surely prefer a rock-solid conservative to Rudy any day, but a Democrat president at this point would be devastating, especially with a couple of Supreme Court openings likely coming up soon. If a real conservative shows up who is VIABLE (ie., has a good chance of scooping up lots of campaign cash and WINNING), then I'll be there. But believe me, if it comes down to Rudy or a rat, I am not about to fold my arms, stick my nose in the air, and sniff about principles - - I am going to vote for Rudy.

FReegards,
LH

I was wondering, before I read your post, if it's possible that Rudy could carry Kal-eeee-for-neeeya with the help of Ahnold.

I guess that is a possibility. If Rudy was to carry New York and California, the dems can turn out the lights; the party's over.

Reagan garnered many conservative Dems. Right now I sympathise with the conservative Dems.

I'm trying to keep options open for the election. But the Rudy people have really pushed me against him with their amorality and pragmatism.

I imagine people will take exception to the characterization of republicans as kucinich -- you could make the same point by associating them with Vilsack, but I get your point. I think you are correct regarding tancredo but see some slim hope for Hunter (not Ron Paul).

Hunter's got some time to try to make something happen, but I don't expect he will. My hope is the Hunter people will realise they don't have a chance and join up with Thompson, Romney, or some other yet unknown conservative candidate.

Gingrich scares me because he has a lot of negatives that I think are real and not just manufactured by the media.

Dick Cheney himself has no chance, because he never tried, and therefore never defended himself against the attacks -- but when I listen to him speak, I swear he reminds me of how Reagan communicated.

Of course, it's funny to see the hard-right swoon over Cheney given his position on civil unions.

I'm not rabidly opposed to Gulliani, despite what my posts look like. Of the people that have a chance at this point, he has the most negatives for me. I doubt I'd be voting 3rd party unless we had a really good candidate, and if we did I don't know why he wouldn't have won the primaries.

I do worry about the stupid front-end loading of the primaries this year. If we ever needed a few early primaries to beat the conservatives into the realization they have to get together behind ONE candidate, it's this year, and I'm afraid by the time it becomes clear which candidate that is, it might be too late.

"Right now I sympathise with the conservative Dems."

As do I! That's part of why I spent so much time talking to this man I'd never met before. It was intensely interesting to say the least. There are some undercurrents in this nation and yes, even here in CA that the fearful FReepers trying to be pragmatic are not even considering!

There is and should be a dichotomy between pragmatism and conservatism by their very natures. Ask Ayn Rand, for one!!!

No, you aren't allowed to an opinion, which is not only benighted, but specious. Rudy is not a Dem, didn't perform as a Dem, as mayor, and you have oh so conveniently ignored the facts that he cut taxes 23 times, reduced the welfare rolls but gigantic proportions, cut down the size of government, did away with the minority and women set asides, helped get rid of open admissions, threatened to defund the BROOKLYM MUSEUM, when that disgusting show of the dung smeared and vulvae beringed portrait of the Virgin Mary was brought in, went after the scofflaw UN member and on and on and on.

None of these things are "LIBERAL", nor anything that a Dem would do.
