Election 2008
Conservative Breakup

Mike Huckabee has caused a bit of a firestorm. As a Baptist minister he has solid cultural conservative convictions, but some are questioning his fiscal conservatism. This is in contrast to America’s Mayor who is viewed as a solid fiscal conservative, but cultural conservative he ain’t. And them there’s Mitt who…ah…ah…ah…well he can’t really be explained. Then the “new Reagan”, the TV prosecutor, who just seems a little too…well…old, tired and kind of disinterested.

It is going to be a darn interesting election for the GOP. The cultural conservatives have always been around to help get a President elected but then for four years their priorities seem to disappear for the radar of governance. So, now there is an array of candidates who do not fit a mold that can be parlayed into a winning candidate. Could be we will see a third party run, which would be deadly to the GOP. Also, an unusual combination of Pres/VP nominees who try to deliver something to everyone, which, of course, means the party stands for nothing except “getting elected.” There is a conservative breakup on the way and it promises not to accomplish anything but electing Hill, BO or Mr. $$$$haircut.
