That's because conservatives took themselves out of the race this past November. They stayed home to protest Bush, and because of that their main promoters like Santorum and Allen lost.

That's not true. The GOP abandoned blue-collar & other "supermarket" issues so you had a lot of these independents and people who don't normally vote go out and vote for the Democrats. Plus voters get fickle when the same party controls Congress & the WH.

That's why there should be a Giuliani/Hunter or a Romney/Hunter ticket for 2008.

I haven't seen any statistics that said turnout for Independents and usual non-voters was higher than normal.

Yeah, and then pray for an act of God to put a conservative in the Presidency the week after the inauguration.

If we had had someone other than gutless, 'gelded Age' Republicans running, Nov 2006 would have turned out very differently.

As it stands, unless we see someone of the stature of Ronald Reagan enter the fray, we're going to get the Anti-Christ for a president in 2008.
