I've long maintained here that Mitt might be one hell of a conservative (as most Mormons are) trapped in liberal Massachusetts. He seems very comfortable with us knuckle-dragging conservatives.

Life , freedom, small govt., Planned Parenthood, PBS....damn ! John Bolton at the UN !

He seems to know what he believes, but I'll bet his VP has bolstered the good and perhaps bent the bad back into conservative shape.

Conservative support in the house is already there, and will be significant now too in the Senate.

It's painfully clear this country is in a perilous state, and only common sense conservative policies have a chance to turn the ship around. Which will happen with an unleashed energy sector and useless burdensome regulatory bull crap stripped from the codes.

There will be a huge economic boom when all the sidelined money comes back onto the table and cheap energy runs the businesses of this country. US will prosper while the rest of the world flounders. Our oil money will dry up to end the financing of ME terrorists. I hope I'm not foreseeing a novel, but actual future headlines.

That is an unsung indicator as well. I did not mention it -- on purpose -- because I hate stereotyping any religion (except Islam), and also because exceptions exist in any religion (except Islam).
