Very good points. We conservatives have forgotten what it is like to be galvanized by a cause. Almost every cause we have taken on (from liberalism in the 60s, to crime in the 70s, to taxes in the 80s, to balanced budget in the 90s, to the war against Islamofascism and the Supreme Court of the 2000s) has resulted in our victory.

I think the next 4 years should be a time to energize the base, go back to the basics, and craft a new strategy around a new cause. Since we will be out of power, our fight from the sidelines will not be tainted by political compromise, and therefore can be more effective.

A great anecdote, we have forgotten what is like to Rally! around a cause.

For myself, Rally to Palin! is the closest target to aim for, the media has done everything to destroy that fine woman that they can, and Conservatives should be mad as hell about it and vote accordingly.
