I may be wrong, but I think the argument goes that if McCain gets the nomination and somehow gets elected, that it will ultimately be the end of the republican party. However, if a democrat gets elected, the republcan party will survive and possibly be reinvigorated.

I don't see any reinvigoration with the looming possibility of a Democrat house, senate and presidency.

The reinvigoration would supposedly come from when the democrats lead us to the brink of destruction and the nation swings conservative. The problem is that this is a very different country compared to when Carter screwed us and the nation swung to Ronald Reagan. Far too many more potential voters now who are psychologically and economically dependent on a nanny state.

When I recall how Conservatives rallied to prevent the amnesty bill and Harriet Miers’ nomination to the SC, I am hopeful that we could do that again.

With both houses controlled by the Democrats, we need a Republican in the Whitehouse....even a bad one. Clinton or Obama on the WOT scare me to death!!

As badly as I hate allowing the RNC to rub our Conservative noses in it, I will have to wait awhile to “teach them a lesson.” We do have collective strengths and are not a group to be taken lightly. 2012 is not that far away and we can re-group by then.

Alas, the proverbial “rock and a hard place.”
