Hunter's remark was nonsense. The problem is not convincing anyone that he is conservative but convincing the electorate that he is not an extremist. This was the reason Bush won because he diffused the idea that conservatives were mean-spirited and cruel, compassionate conservativism. After his election the media managed to destroy that idea and the Implacables joined it in their hatred of the President.
