How optimistic you are, but I don’t think that the sheeple will ever get enough of liberalism and socialism. It’s all they understand: a candidate who can clean up GWB’s mess and “help” them. GWB has ruined conservatives by coopting the label.
Things can change so quickly when his opposition is so fake.
It’s like Obama vs Hillary, subconsciously they are still thinking support Hillary so a ‘D’ wins.
This same thinking is working against Thompson, hey, we need a winner in there to beat Hillary.
But, thats not a sure thing as time progresses.
