We need more than just "a leader". We need a leader with strong conservative convictions. A leader that will lead in the wrong direction is not what we need.
It is if he has the right letter by his name. Don't worry, Faux News will decide which candidate is best for us and then start selling that person to the public in '06 as the last best chance for conservatism. It's become embarrasing how many people I consider somewhat sane that will continue to vote for someone just because the candidate has the 'right' letter by their name. Conservatism will advance no further, or rather stop sliding back, until the majority of conservatives realize Republicans are in it for the votes and not principle
