Where are you living, for you act as though Conservatives are only ten percent of the population. Perhaps if you're in Massachusetts or parts of California, but not in the southeast, midwest, and inter-mountain west. That is, most of the country.

Obviously few are of your brand, since even in the region to which you allude, few that are elected that subscribe to your ideas. Connect the dots.

I live in the most conservative part of Michigan. And I am well aware of the 'red area' that Bush won. But the ideology battle isn't fought on the far right or left. It's fought in the middle. And Bush lost key states like Wisconsin and Michigan. To win these states, he has to appeal not only to the conservatives, but to the middle as well. But if since the middle is a harder sell than the right, and if the far right jump shit, then GWB will be a one-termer.
