“I think we have hit rock bottom.”
Yeah, and just what we need is a RHINO to fix it.
George W Bush has a 29% approval rating. Agree with the polls or not, the voters are pissed off at him. And if we run a GWB-like candidate, we will get blown out by Obama and his goons.
Best option at this point is to put up with 4 years of McCain. If he’s successful, he’ll restore trust in the GOP, clean house, and get some new leaders to get the party moving in the right direction again. Then in 2012, we can run a more conservative candidate.
A conservative president would not get any conservative legislation through the congress anyway in this cycle since the Dems have such a big majority. We need to work at getting Congress back in 2010 and 2012.
