Morgan, I think you will find that almost all Republicans fail in the public relations department. Notice how quickly John McCain moved from being the darling of the press to an out of touch geezer.

By the time 2012 rolls around, Sarah Palin will be trailer trash. Mitt Romney will be a religious fanatic with ties to big business.

I am very discouraged about the media and how much control they have over the uninformed.

Unfortunately, you are probably correct.

McCain, and to a degree Bush 43, could not galvanize the base because of positions they would not move away from. I’m not complaining about that, just acknowledging it.

In the mean time I will continue my GOP support and keep working to get conservatives elected. Eventually, the pendulum will swing back. I just hope it happens before too much damage happens.

One thing GW could have done but didn't is to fight the DBM/DNC much harder than he did.

They created lie after lie about him and his adm. and he seldom came out with both guns blazing. Big mistake IMHO. We would all have supported him if he had.
