It's "Mr", but you can call me "Sir".....

Oh, I'm not being cynical at all, just realistic. You [as a "conservative"],
can claim victory when you see those same voters voting for an actual
conservative's agenda, not the politician that claims he'll represent one.

The people of Florida voted for Jeb Bush, but voted for class size reduction
[that was something Jeb was fighting against]. So it wasn't a "win" for
"conservatism" or "conservative Republicans", it was a just win for Jeb.

In essence, they voted for a democrat policy but a republican face. Now,
if you can call that "victory", go ahead. But the next election may yield
a democrat instead of a familiar face.

Letting this "win" bring some distorted belief that all of America believes
the "conservative agenda" is best for them, is not only foolish, it's absurd.

Thanks.

If what you say is true, it is more important than ever to take advantage of this opportunity and implement those programs and initiatives we know America needs - i.e. Private Social Security Accounts, a Conservative Judiciary, Tax relief, etc.

Don't let it go to our heads? Crap on that! Full steam ahead!

As far as governors go the rule is something like this. You vote republican, then if the guy is good you vote him in again. After 8 years you vote in a democrat, if the guy is good you vote him in again and then elect a republican, if he's good you vote him in again and then you elect a democrat.

It's really quite simple when it comes to governors.

"For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph -- a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."
