The bad news is the Huckster can and he will run again, condemning us to another split vote for conservatives and leaving us with another liberal. I use the term split vote for conservatives loosly. Huck is not a conservative but their are many conservatives that will vote for him because he carries a bible.
I voted for McCain because of Palin. I doubt very seriously I will ever vote republican again at the national level. I will support my very conservative local congresscritter. I won't vote for Crist who is trying to replace the last Rino we had in the senate.
Actually, Hunter may run again. But he we certainly be scorned by many of the same idiots who made Rudy McRomney the frontrunners last time. However, there is a chance many others will actually give a genuine Reaganite a look this time.
