RE :”It saddens me to see folks buy off on the idea that Conservatism is dead, or it just won’t sell anymore. That is not born out by the facts. The truth is, we have very few salesmen for Conservatism these days, and if you’re not making calls, you’re not making sales.

Let's make it simple. A congressional district that elects Michelle Bachmann is not electing Dennis Kucinich and vice versa. I am sure there are liberals that will claim that a liberal can beat Bachmann in her district, or alternatively some will claim a conservative beat Kucinich in his. But it's not realistic.

You’re changing the subject. The topic I responded to was the idea that a Conservative couldn’t get elected in California.

I explained what the reality on the ground in California is. I provided a clear-cut example, and gave you a link to enough information for you to clearly see what I was talking about.

Your responses referenced a number of other locations outside California to evidently prove a point.

California is not a lost cause. It is a lost cause until we get decent RP leadership in the state who is willing to support Conservative candidates with funding, or the Tea Party decides to make it official and take over for the Republican party in the state.

Conservatives are still electable here. You’ve seen the evidence.

If being outspent in the state by a five to one or better margin can’t buy the fully funded a better victory than a 2.5% swing over a Conservative, then it’s brutally clear that Conservatism is not dead in the state.

Speaking of conservatives convincing liberals (in very liberal districts) to vote conservative, it seems most conservatives claim (this is unscientific poll) they would never talk to a liberal because they are impossible(which they usually are). How would that work?

What about conservatives that flee liberal states(say for jobs) ? What does that do?
