Yep, even were our nominee defeated, we could have run the entire 2006 election on those grounds. I saw nominate the entire list of conservatives and force the Dems and RINOs to vote them down. We'd have turned the entire base out in passionate, firey intensity on a unifying principle. It worked like gangbusters in limited use in 04 (Thune anyone?). Now we get to run on current policy and Miers. As you can see, the base is pumped about it. Sigh.
Yep...but at least I didn't expect any better from this president. He's given plenty of warning that he's not a conservative, so I didn't have much hope.
