"Reagan didn’t have any friends in networks and talk radio wasn’t anything like it was later. It’s doable, tough as hell but doable."

It was doable. Do you think if Carter was pres. in 4 days time, the term "malaise" would ever enter the national consciousness? Or the idea of a "misery index"? I think Carter would have high ratings. Just like It will.

I think we need real big demonstrations against leftist bias on TV. That's what's killing us. It would at least scare them into the occasional bit of balance

It still is doable.

I think we can agree that RINOs were not up to the task.
We had few conservatives out there this time, and it took Reagan years to be up to the task himself.

This is where folks like Palin and Jindal come in.
We have to start promoting people years ahead of time.
Not pull a Fred Thompson out at the last minute and say, there is your conservative!
We didn’t have anyone in the election hopper soon enough, we were distracted by the war and democrat betrayal of the troops I think.

So the media put their pet republican into the hopper for us.

We cannot allow that to happen again.

Of course all this is based on the republican party being capable of returning to championing conservatism.
