Luckily, we have a good conservative with a shot at the nomination; Fred Thompson. He’s not the ultra-conservative many here would like, but that kind of candidate would never get elected in the General, and they know it, but don’t want to admit it. He’s conservative enough for most conservatives, and not so scary that folks who generally won’t support a conservative WILL vote for him. Heck, he may even pull in some Democrats who can’t stand the thought of Her Heinous in the White House.
We shall see. I do not believe you are correct.
