I personally demand a conservative for President.

I demand conservatives in conservative districts and states.

But (and I’ll duck)...in places like California and Connecticutt, if they want to run moderates with at least some conservative credentials....

I won’t balk at that. I live in Maryland so you have to just hope to get “as conservative as possible” in total one Party Lib Tard states.

Agreed. Do conservatives really think a Jindal is going to win a Senate seat in CA or NY at this point in history?

C'mon people. Maybe over time as GOP conservatives slowly overtake RINO's. But to expect them all to be true-blue in '10 is folly.

Most don’t understand this. By all means get the candidates elected who are representtive of more conservative and limited government principles but if you think you can get someone with an ACU rating of 100 elected in Oregon then you are a moron.

It seems rather elementary to me - political science 101, if you will. Apparently, many are under the delusion if we just get Tom Delay to run for Governor of NY, or even Mayor of NY that the people in New York will have some kind of conservative epiphany - bravo sierra!

Rahm Emanuel is now a political genius, as well as a king maker because during his tenure of the DCC, he recruited moderate, even right-leaning Dems to run in contested districts. It paid off. Now, the Dems have a bunch of extremely liberal congressman in chairmanships and leadership positions, because their moderates voted them in.

But, this politics thing must be too complicated for me to understand because I'm frequently told that it's better to have just 28 or 30 votes all the time out of a 100 than it is to have 51 most of the time. I need to work on this new math.

I couldn't give a tin sh*t if they fit the "conservative" label. I just want someone who has read the Constitution and still thinks it's a good idea as written.

Yeah, that matches up with todays version of "conservative", but let's not give them the wiggle room on redefining "conservative" to mean "centrist RINO".

If restoring the Constitution's Republic isn't a candidates #1 goal, then I don't even want to discuss them as "viable".
