No, of course they are not conservatives, but 90% of the state legislatures are not "conservative," nor are the governors. Name 30 governors who could be counted on to name delegates we could trust?

For ex., do you think Jan Brewer of AZ would nominate Sarah Palin or John McCain to such a ConCon? I know it would be McCain.
