"I don't believe there are really that many conservatives"

About 40% are conservatives. About 21% are liberal.
Rush mentioned those numbers a few months ago.

I don't believe those numbers for a minute. Those numbers are what people call themselves, if asked, not what they really are. As a Catholic I know that 2/3rds of the people calling themselves Catholic are not "practicing", it is just a name they use.

Do you really believe that if the Country were really 40% conservative that Obama could have been elected?

I would put the Country at about 15% conservative, 15% liberal, and 70% who will vote, pretty much without ideological principles, for whoever's personality/looks they like best or who they think will get them the most.
