What ever happens in 2008 the Conservative Movement looks to be the big loser.
Better a Clinton again then McCain. That way at least the Democrats get the political blame. With McCain we get all the political blame and all the same Neo Socialist intrusive big Govt boomer nonsense only it will be blamed on a mis labled “Conservative” McCain administration.
Well.
I guess that’s a strategy for conservatives not in favor of McCain: Vote for Hillary and then deal with her for only four years and let her rack up a history of non-performance, and then have another conservative run against her in 2012.
It all depends if one wants to do that...
You may be right. But what I can't figure is, why is there a shortage of solid conservatives of presidential caliber? The principles are well known -- low taxes, limited gov't, strict constructionist judges, free trade, sound money, pro-life, strong defense, etc. Doesn't anyone with an interest in being president believe in those anymore?
