Parading very popular moderates .......

I don't like "diluting" conservatism. I live in NY. I know how moderate Republicans govern. People are leaving NY in droves because we have the highest taxes in the COUNTRY, the highest electricity costs due to regulations, the highest school education costs because we cow tow to the unions. Our state is FAILING because of moderate Republicans being afraid to stand up to radical liberals.

"Our state is FAILING because of moderate Republicans being afraid to stand up to radical liberals."I think one of the interesting things in the decade ahead will be the radical contrast between working and failing states. The failing states are going to want FedGov to bail them out. Cali is still in a world of hurt. The 'rats refused to cut programs, so taxes will have to be raised. They may pass you in NY as the highest taxed state. The productive have been leaving by the SUV full for a decade, and replaced by no-income invaders from sunny Mexico.
