I respectfully disagree. I think the majority in this country are Conservative but dumb. McCain and Schmuchabee are selling populisim, And that is dangerous to real Conservatives.
Too many folks live conservatively, but are liberal in the head. Case in point, the large Indian/Indian American population in my area, to say nothing of most suburban women these days.
Not dumb, complacent. Too wrapped up in their selves to take part in the process.
Now, we see the country lining up along identity, not qualifications.
Prepare for more socialism.
