It all depends on when that will happen. If it’s Obama for 8, and hillary for 8....I’m sure the demographics for real conservatism will be dead. Some form of it will be possible, but it won’t be up to us anymore.
The person running the party will not be the presidential candidate, we need someone with the polished tone of a Reagan to start the conervative movement (which has disappeared with our current leadership). OBama won because his B.S. captured the young people (and the stupid...).
First we need a great leader to step forward, and then the others will hopefully follow. I am sure there are some potential leaders out there besides Palin and Jindal, who would make better candidates in a few years.
I too was for Thompson but felt he did not inspire many in his campaign.
LOL! No it won't! Conservatism isn't a demographic. It is a way of life. After forty years plus of overwhelming Democrat congressional control, and *no* Conservative administrations, Reagan walked in and spoke with a clarity of a ringing bell.
Look at what he wrought.
When we listen to those who would have us react to fear and take the lesser road, the safer route, we will suffer ignominy, and we will find exactly the thing we fear the most.
It is only when we strike out boldly, anchored firmly by principle, confident in our beliefs, and righteous in our cause, that we ever succeed- And then our success is always great.
