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.

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.

He also walked in after an incredible saturation among the states (ie excessive growth in spending), and a totally incompentent admin before him....with another alternative to offer.

California will never be a conservative state...no charisma will change that. I’d love to be wrong, but the demographics changed and it’s all downhill there. Florida’s next, then...texas....then the republican party will shift dramatically to the left.

The best chance for conservatism is 2010-2020. Medicare will collapse and we’re likely to see a conflict with Iran. If we can’t come up with incredibly good alternatives and sell them 100%....then we’ll lose a grip of government for sometime. We have to perform well from now on or that’s it.
