He knows your right Joe, that there are few if any Gingrich/Reagan types we can grab onto.
What Jim's saying is that we have to keep holding the fort until we can dredge up something or someone better. I can understand the logic but I just don't have it in me any more. I think things have gotten really bad for the conservatism and the country, I dare say worse than ever.
Thing is he and the other "realists" just might be right about how to go about things. We're all on the same side of the war, it's just how we go about winning it is where we differ. If you read JRs posts he semi-supports GW through his teeth.
I understand Jim's position very well. But looking at the big picture, I am not overly confident either.
