And it was NOT because conservatives didn’t turn out, but because a lot of “middle” or “indies” voted the other way.

Right. Because corrupt RINOs had destroyed the brand.

That hardly makes sense if you are talking about Ken Blackwell, who was the most clearly conservative candidate in our state's history; and even DeWine as as pro-life a candidate as you'll ever find. Exactly how did they "destroy the brand?" How did Talent, or Allen, "destroy the brand?"

You're going to have to do better than to keep claiming that "real conservatism" could have won in 2006. I wish it were otherwise, but I won't fool myself.
