Republicans are missing conservative leadership right now, no question. I, for one, am not happy about it. But they do have ideas, and some of them are quite good. Certainly current polls indicate the country isn't having a love affair with any of your candidates either (latest Rasmussen: Obama 47 McCain 46). Why don't you focus on convincing the remaining 270 of your superdelegates to actually nominate the Obamessiah? If Obama is truly the 2nd Coming of Great Ideas, it's a wonder he can't wrap up his own party's nomination.

And the reference to Louisiana, Illinois and Mississippi was to the special congressional elections there where the RNCC and the Republican candidate's ads all focused on how they were not Obama (didn't work so well for them). Not that I would expect you to keep up, though. |

But you don't want to see successful economies because that would thwart your need for government control. You'd prefer to be coddled than for people to act for themselves independently.

If you listen, you'd recognize that Obama is the black Jimmy Carter. Neither side has anything original. How can you not recognize that?

Looks like the ad didn't help much. He just lost by 8: a 20 point swing from the last election. Keep that drinking glass close by, Tex. |

Thus, the choice to conflate the two was probably a bad campaign strategy. Parenthetically, I should add that I don't necessarily think it bodes well for the R's this year. I just don't think it represents the catastrophe that you seem to think it does.
