I’m in the 8th district, Cong Mike Rogers is my Rep.

Great, great, great win for Tim, and congrats on that campaign, wow, to be a part of that win, how exciting!

I will make sure to send him a ck also, in 08!

Thanks. Tim is as conservative as it gets and the 7th district is conservative.

Without RAT crossover the stench of Schwartz would never have been there for 2 years!

Seems to me that Michigan had a VERY conservative Senator named Abraham a few years ago, and gave him the boot. Hardly an argument that "more conservatism wins."

The problem with that claim, whether it's Talent, Santorum, Allen, Burns, J.D. Hayworth---they all lost. And every time, conservatives make excuses and blame the candidate. But at some point you have to realize that heavy doses of traditional conservatism just aren't going to fly in some states. I wish it were otherwise, but we only keep shooting ourselves in the foot if we continue to fool ourselves.

Here in OH, I had hoped the economic malaise would actually intensify, so the voters would be angrier than in 2006, but Strickland has cleverly done . . . nothing at all.

Name any openly anti-gun Republican that has EVER won the nomination, much less the general election for President?

Rooty and Mutt are both anti-gun.

[JCEccles]

BS.

Rudy is ambivalent toward gun rights.

But Romney was born in reared in the same conservative Mormon culture that produced John M. Browning. It's in the blood. No greater defenders of the Second Amendment can be found.

They put you to shame.

“But Romney was born in reared in the same conservative Mormon culture that produced John M. Browning. It’s in the blood. No greater defenders of the Second Amendment can be found.”

To this very day Mutt supports an assault weapons ban.

Nice try but Mutt is an open gun grabber!

Before Andrew Jackson, name any Tennessean who had ever won. It's a silly game. Times change. I think right now people are a lot less concerned with their right to own an Oozi than they are with al-Qaeda at the mall.

You still are kind of ducking my challenge. Show me the delegates/states where Fred or Huckabee would win. I don't see it. Unless something really strange happens, Rudy is the nominee, and Hillary is the opponent.

[Beagle8U]

Good luck with your Rooty/Hildabeast matchup. If it were to happen Rooty will lose in a landslide.

Rooty or Willard = Conservatives stay home or vote 3rd party/write-in.

[LS]

Nah, don't see it. I'm pretty active here in the center of OH---the county that won it for Bush four years ago---and know a LOT of the conservative activists. No one is staying home. They may prefer another candidate, but they are adamant about not allowing Hillary to win. Course YOU might sit home---then it's your fault, but not ours. We'll do our part.

In fact, of all the pro-life conservative church-going gun owners I know, only one has vowed to sit out. Everyone else plans to work hard for victory.

[Beagle8U]

I wish you luck with that plan.

...."If this is what America thinks, we are in big trouble" Heck no. This is not what America thinks. America don't think, or didn't you know. However, America could, be waking up from a consumerism, me generation, coma, after all.
