...the general kookiness of the ‘Rat presidential contenders (Hillary, Obama, Elizabeth Edwards’ husband) is firing up the conservative vote.

True, much is made of the "weakness" of the Repub. field of Pres candidates, but when you look at the freak show that is the Dem field our side doesn't look so bad.

I have my gripes about the Repub side, but there's potential to win in 08 if we mobilize the traditional constituencies. The pro-life vote isn't mentioned in the article either, and that's a huge plus for the Repub side. There's no way they will be swayed to vote Dem with the current field of candidates there.

People talk about "Bush fatigue" (I suffer from it myself), but maybe we ought better talk about "Establishment-fatigue." That means, "No more Bushes or Clintons!" If someone taps into this discontent, does the legwork needed to fire up the base, secures the border, promotes the pro-life agenda, and offers tax-relief/reform, we could win. Not in a landslide probably, but elections are a game of inches right now. We could grab enough votes to win.
