“I have a sinking feeling that no matter who the GOP nominee is, a lot of “conservatives” who stayed home in 2006...”
For the love of God, how many times does that stupid notion have to be debunked for it to sink in that?
For the last time for those in the cheap seats:
CONSERVATIVES DID NOT “STAY HOME” IN 2006! CONSERVATIVE BALLOT MEASURES PASSED ALL OVER THE NATION! DEMS WON BY RUNNING TO THE RIGHT OF THE RINOS!!
You people go ahead and keep on thinking that. When you go from 64% voter turnout in 2004 to around 40% in 2006 you cannot logically conclude that "no one stayed home." You might also want to note that the Democrat party was able to increase its turnout in 2006.
Now, you can continue believing in your little fantasy that no conservatives stayed home in 2006 going into the 2008 election, and we'll have all sorts of fun with President Rodham along with a Socialist Congress to do her bidding.
