Maybe if the Republians field a decent candidate, next time they might win? Me? I'll still be voting for Ron Paul.
You are correct in your assessment of the recent Republican candidates. Yes, our party really needs to get its collective act together. If we do, I really do anticipate many victories in 2010.

I find it ironic, and hypocritical, that the left is complaining about much of the country's voters dissatisfaction with Obama considering how much the left belly-ached about George Bush, as you do here, over the last eight years. Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black. Talk about becoming tiresome. The left leaning media couldn't get enough coverage of anything that disparaged W. BTW, I didn't agree with everything that W did in his presidency, but I admire two things about him: he didn't waffle every time the winds of the political polls shifted (pretty much a two to three times/week occurrence during the Clinton administration) and he kept the country safe from terrorist. His policies made it possible to catch the four terrorist that were thwarted in the past few days.

BTW, I am a Republican mainly because the Democrats have gone from the party of the working man to the party of the Hollywood Limousine Liberal elite and seem to run as anti-Judeo-Christian values as they can get. I am really just a conservative, but in our two party system I feel that the Republican party is the only real choice. I am probably more what George Herbert Walker Bush meant when he asked for Compassionate Conservatives. For me, I'm an environmentalist, to a point (don't put a two inch long fish above the livelihood of a good part of Central California's Central Valley) believing that it is our moral responsibility to take care of the earth and environment and our fellow man (this is the Church's responsibility, not the government's). I could go on, but my point is that the Democratic party has just become ridiculous and that pretty much leaves the Republican party.
