More importantly, millions of Americans identify themselves as conservatives who would not be called conservatives by the rightwingers around here.
John McCain would call himself a conservative in that poll. When's the last time the 'nuts around here accepted that definition?
What the nuts think is a "conservative" is immaterial. There are not enough of them to stop a McCain or a Romney.
The Big Lie that the Right has bought into, re presidential elections, is that every Republican who has lost the election in recent memory lost because he wasn't conservative enough.
I predict that the Right, if they get their way, will eventually push that theory far enough to where we get a future Johnson/Goldwater 64 type election.
I just can't see the left embracing an LBJ clone.
