This is right on the money. Every one of our conservative candidates could win with five canned issues and answers, no matter what the questions asked are. All questions to a conservative candidate from the media are asked simply to trip up the candidate and try to pin various extremest labels on them.

Here’s the five answers:

1. I’ll vote to reduce taxes and reduce spending.

2. I’ll vote to reduce regulation, including green house gas regulations.

3. I’ll vote for a strong military and for strong protection of our borders.

4. I’ll vote for strong methods for protecting our country from terrorist and other enemies.

5. I’ll vote to repeal ObamaCare and then vote to replace it with honest reform.

Say, and really believe, these four things and nothing more and you will be elected. The rest and come after you are elected.

Every election cycle has its own "theme", depending on the circumstances of the Country at that moment. This year the "theme" is the economy. Those who fail to capitalize on the mood of the Country, and centralize their campaigns on other issues, will loose.

Any candidate, who I believed, that answered with those answers you wrote, would win my vote.

I think this article is 100% correct. Even my "middle of the road" friends agree with the Tea Party concepts, even if they are somewhat mushy on the social issues. Don't get me wrong, the majority agree with the Republicans on abortion, and gay marriage. They are just not their driving issues. They will vote Republican, this time, but that could change in two years if social issues overtake the economy.
