DALLAS (Reuters) - If Republican John McCain loses the November 4 election as most polls predict, his party may be in for a rough period of soul searching.
Analysts and some party activists say losing the White House will highlight the pitfalls of relying too heavily on a narrow foundation of conservative Christians whose support has nonetheless become crucial to Republican electoral success.
But some social conservatives say a victory for Democrat Barack Obama, whom they regard as an "ultra-liberal," will energize them for the 2010 congressional "mid-term" races and the 2012 White House battle.

2012 Sara/Joe Ticket!!
Win or lose, we start on November 5th.
We start by identifying the Vichy Republicans, and then move to Intellectuals who are supposedly Conservatives or Republicans, and then we make a “acceptable/unacceptable” list of them backed up by evidence of their skulduggery.
I honestly believe McCain/Palin has a excellent shot of winning this election in spite of the massive MSM bias, I also truly believe our so called opinion leaders have stabbed us in the back, and we should never, never, never forget them or what they have done.
For example, look at Drudge’s columnist links, half of the so called Conservative ones are outright Obama supporters, or at least a soild handful are.
Doesn’t mean that a new Political Party can’t work.
What do you suggest???????
You keep believing that lie you’re telling yourself.
Let’s pick a state and buy it. Then enforce home rule and reject all mandates.
I’m telling myself a lie, huh? So John McCain doesn’t bear any responsibility? As many have said, this is only close because of Sarah Palin.
Part of the problem, to be blunt, is Conservatism has gotten soft and flabby under GWB, people may throw rotten tomatoes at President Bush at the moment, but on pretty much every core social issue, President Bush has done a fine job.
Banning partial birth abortions, no firearms bans, lower taxes, more trade (cough..cough...cough..on that one) and no onerous mandates imposed on small businesses, no environmental over reaches.
We’ve forgotten what it is like to be under the boot of Government, this bickering plays right into the Dhimmicrats hands with an election 8 days away.
“Abortion is about a 50/50 issue ...”
Maybe when querying only the male species. I’d venture to say that a majority of Republican women want the right to choose. And more women then men vote.
And only the moral absolutists like yourself vote only one issue candidates.
Maybe if you all had gotten behind McCain early on like the rest of did instead of trashing him he might have won.
You are. You’re right this is only close because of Sarah Palin. Because she’s a woman and only that.
You all were busy being critical of her because she was.
This is the sort of drivel which has driven the McCain campaign. We must fear/ignore the conservative base, for the crass racism and homophobia at its core will drive away the all important “moderate” swing voter. The left has preached this nonsense for years, hoping against hope that mindless republicans will be taken in. Well, in McCain the Reuters crowd found an all too willing sucker. Rather than run a campaign based upon supporting the strongly held beliefs of the vast majority of the American public—a conservative public, in spite of the contentions of the MSM—McCain ignores and even betrays that public in the name of chasing down the votes of those who either can’t make up their minds, or have no real minds to make up. Had he refused to support the trillion dollar, pork-laden bailout of Wall Street and exposed those truly responsible for the finacial fiasco, the election would be over. McCain would, by being a champion of the wishes of the American people, have a 10+ point lead. Washington had been utterly inundated with mail, e-mail, wires, calls, faxes and the like from angry voters, begging politicians to vote against the theft and distribution of even more tax dollars to the thugs behind the scandal. Rather than stand with the public, McCain fell right in line with his friends and contributors. This neatly timed October surprise was designed to tip the election to Obama. The polls had favored McCain, prior to this Washington contrivance. And our bipartisan nominee reached across the aisle in order to hand the election to an America despising Marxist.
With any luck, a renewed and resolute affirmation, en masse, to never, EVER allow party "moderates" and RINOS to dictate either campaign strategy or candidate ever again.
What if McCain wins? What’s next for conservatives?
Yep...people like Rudy Guiliani, Bloomberg, Rick Perry, etc., etc. should never be allowed to be in the party. If they act like ‘rats...kick their asses out.
“sooner or later, they’ll go too far and make a mistake.”
Clinton went “too far” time and again, and no one would rein him in. When the Republicans in the House tried to bring him to justice, the entire Senate “joined hands pretty much across the aisle” and did the country club colleage good ol’ boy thing and did not do the right thing and remove him from office, because of liberal polls that indicated how “popular” Clinton was. As a result, we cannot be shed of the corrupt Clintons and won’t be until they both are deceased. (You think HE wouldn’t have gotten by with the same things Nixon didn’t? Ya think?) Clinton could have been taped shooting someone and the liberal polls would have spun it to excuse him.
It is missed by the casual observer the REAL danger the corrupt Clinton posed. If he had come under blackmail from a corrupt foreign regime, the results could have been unthinkable - and, who knows? Maybe he did, and we just don’t know it. This communist media would think it was a good thing. - They sure did a good job of almost allowing the ladie’s man, John Edwards, to become VP headed for the Presidency. Does anyone think the media didn’t know what Edwards was?
Heck, WE’LL probably be some of them!

Rush is out of touch.
Once again the left wing media paints this picture exactly wrong. They WANT the ones in office to be “afraid” of real conservatives so they’ll be voted out in two years. And if the republicans in office fall for it they deserve to lose to liberals.
Yup, something like an American version of the current Conservative party in the UK... (a conserative) friend there recently noted that Obama (in so far as his likely politics are known) would be comfortable fit there as a “moderate” Tory.
