What do you mean, where are the conservatives? They are voting for Huckabee. No, they are voting for Giuliani. Or for Romney. Or for McCain, or for Thompson, and even still for Hunter.
The conservatives fought each other over the candidates. We never had a candidate. Except Thompson, which we couldn’t sell to the average voter.
This nomination fight isn’t over. McCain hardly won florida. But since the only person who could stop him is Romney, and since a good number of conservatives would rather see Romney lose, I don’t see what good it does that Romney might be able to beat him, because we won’t let him.

My context suggests I’m referring to conservative candidates running for president, not voters.
Out of a country this size the best we can do is what we’ve seen this past year? I pulled for Fred, but I have to admit he looked like time had passed him by. Where are the philosophical conservatives who might run for president? I’m tired of these “practical politicians” who sway with the wind. I just don’t know any deep conservative thinkers willing to be president or even an honorable politician.
A good and honest post that bears repeating.
