Your probably correct in your comments, but there again, what does that get us other than a slower descent into collectivism and a bit more time ?
At some point the scenario you originally posted about is going to happen. I would recommend taking steps NOW to actually avoid that from happening instead of just stalling.
It buys us time to reorganize and start working on 2012 NOW. The time to win the candidacy for 2012 started in April 2008 - when McCain sewed up the 2008 nomination. Waiting until 2011 will be too late.

What are the steps to take now? And no, letting Obama win isn't an acceptable step. The Congress will stay in Donk control; the CHANGE that Obama promises will happen with at least healthcare.
So what steps can we take NOW to avoid de-facto nationalization of 36% of our economy, and potentially 51%?
I don't mean to single you out at all! Nor sound like I'm attacking you. Rather, I'm hoping some of the spoiled little brats at FR will shake out of their funk and look at the bigger picture.
Yes, we didn't get a conservative this time; so we'll work for next time. But giving the entire thing to the Donks is not the answer! What did the NY Giants do after "losing" the first quarter of a football game, give the ball to the other team and walk off the field? NO! You play defense.
McCain is a great defensive play. He's conservative on some issues, and has shown he can be swung to the conservative side on other issues.
The option - let Obama run rampant with the COMMUNIST agenda, for that is what it is - will guarantee a destruction of the Republic in 4 years.
The only reason it didn't happen under Clinton is that the Donks didn't see the wave of 1994 happening. They were too lackadaisical in the first 2 years, and got stalled. They won't make the same mistake again.
The first two years of an Obama presidency WILL see two SC judges seated, nationalization of healthcare, and a run at nationalizing the energy companies. Guaranteed. They will not take their time on the off-chance there is another sea-change in 2010.
