I do, which is fine because the party needs to be cleaned up and redefined. Its pretty fragmented. I have two friends who are also Republicans and none of us voted for the same because one is an evangelical Christian, the other is liberal....I mean a moderate, and I am the regular conservative. The party needs to figure out which 2/3rd's it will identify with before the moderates turn the party purple instead of red and true conservatives flock to the Libertarian party and take it over, leaving the Evangelicals by themselves. Give the party 8 years( hopefully 4) to fix itself and come back stronger.



The recent elections have also shown that he Democratic party is leaning more left and more socialist everyday. The heavy lobbying of Latino separatists groups to support this lean will speak doom for Black Americans sense their is a riff between the two groups. It will be key for Republicans to make this point, and how the party is not comprised of sub-groups like the left is, but one party.

With the Clinton-Obama turf war heating up, there's a very good chance the party will be split and McCain will end up in The White House. Looks like the Republicans are trying to unite behind McCain, and if they do any divisiveness among the Dems means victory for McCain.

Its almost a win win for the GOP.

The Dem's are splitting themselves down the middle with this super delegate issue.

Those that are left are the Dem's that are divided to the point that out of hostility, Obama dreamers will not vote for Clinton. Clinton loyalist will not vote for Obama. Clinton backers think that the blacks voting for Obama are racists. They have always been taken for granted by the democrat party, and finally they have a candidate who potentially represents them and they are called a racist by Clinton for backing a black man. This is a gift for McCain and I do not like McCain. So who wins?..The Republicans

I dont. It is way too early to predict something like that one way or the other. So much can and will happen between now and then. Another terrorist attack, for example, especially given the latest congressional vote, can swing things toward the Republican side in a big way.

not i, once either clinton or obama have to face a rep one on one, the gloves will be off and neither can win UNLESS, the voters do not care about the direction of our country and just want to put a bi-racial man or a woman in office. i rue the day...

Not at all. McCain would dominate Hillary, due to her polarizing character. He would take all the moderates. I have a feeling that Obama will be shown to be a phony before long.

The White House -- meh, you can have it. Senator Clinton or B. Hussein Obama's. "Progressive" positions are almost indistinguishable from Senator McCain's.



The Senate and House -- I'm working night and day to hold on to the conservative seats we've got, hopefully get a few more so we can rebuke anything along the lines of universal healthcare for illegal aliens.

depends on who the nominee is....



if Huckabee comes anywhere near the ticket, they will lose...the general populace will no longer support a candidate that wears his religion on his sleeve and is handpicked by the religious right....we got burned by Bush, as he was the religious right's pick...that won't happen again.



However, if the Republicans run a moderate like McCain, I think it will be a close race...
