Maybe we can't. Oh, I'll vote, as usual, for the 'pubby, but even if he wins I don't expect more than lip service to conservative principles.
We need a separate Conservative party in Maine, but the chances of forming one without the crazies - those who think the purpose of government is to ensure that every fetus grows up to be an Abstaining Christian Patriot - jumping on board first are nil. And you just can't make a mass movement from a beginning where half the members are folks normal people would pay not to share a bus ride with.
