“Shifting demographics”??? What a moron. CNN exit polls show the same percentage of self identified conservatives turned out to vote in 2008 as 2004. The difference was that the percentage of self-identified Republican voters dropped by 7%. The inescapable conclusion - listening to hacks like Kathleen Parker is resulting in conservatives no longer identifying the Republican party as the party that most represents their values.
I have to say though, some religious voters need to wise up this primary season and support the most well-rounded conservative candidate rather than the most outspoken candidate on social issues. Support for Huckabee caused a very liberal Republican to be nominated and could stick us with a Romney or Guliani in 2012, rather than a Palin or Jindal. Wise up people!

We had a bad field. The only real conservative was fred and he didn’t show any heart. Also, huck was the only one who wanted to abolish the income tax. That was another major factor for his popularity.
