And BTW, if Conservatism wins big, explain the makeup of the Congress.
Trivial.
The GOP hierarchy is dominated by RINOs, who bend over for the Dem power brokers.
Notice how easily Romney played Politico to spread authoritative sounding rumours of Fred Thompson's impending withdrawal from the race "unless he finished first or second", before key early primaries in the last election.
Think what might have happened if they had quietly pumped UP momentum for Thompson instead.
Cheers!
