What would truly be the best ways for Hunter to get as many votes as he could get from both the present "blue states" and from more of the non-conservative voters?

The only way to do that is to nominate a liberal, a strategy at which the Democrats are far more successful at executing and one which I will not support. In the end, it's not about changing our ideology to win, it's presenting a clear conservative direction for the nation and hoping the voters agree.

Agree 100%. I will not participate in the further liberalization of the GOP. If they run a liberal like Rudy McRomney, they can win without my money, support, and vote.

Also, can you imagine how badly Hunter would shred Hillary in the debates? Talk about must see TV!

I'm not convinced that two years is enough time to make a majority of U.S. voters vote for the Republican ticket in '08. I want to be wrong on this, but I don't think that I am. A possible "President Clinton/Vice President Obama" situation is coming after what just happen to Republicans this November, and having "establishment" Republicans elected to all of the major leadership positions in the next Congress instead of having "reformist" Republicans elected is not a good start for the Republican Party. It also doesn't help conservatism overall when "pro-amnesty for illegals" President Bush picks "pro-amnesty for illegals" Senator Mel Martinez as a Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee.
