Repeated polls have shown that the majority of voters are conservative.
Well..., it's certainly unfortunate then..., that this majority of conservative voters in our society voted for Obama in this last Presidential election by a plurality of almost 10 million votes... LOL...
Wrong. Many conservatives were turned off by the exact fact that another CCR was the candidate, and stayed away. Palin was turning it around, but too little, too late. And McCain screwed up badly. Do not confuse a "majority of voters" in the last election with a majority of eligible voters. Those are two VERY different populations.
