This campaign has been about a single constant for over two years for those of us who actually pay attention. It is however two fold such as a ying is to a yang. The GOP vs. the DNC the stakes are as high as ever but higher for those in the now as it always is. On the GOP side of the equation it is Conservatism. On the Democrat side it's called Liberalism. I know that sounds a bit obvivous, but wait.
Conservatism was redefined under President George W. Bush, despite the rumour that is going on to a Liberal degree now. We let the media and the Democrats, even some slinky spined RINO's call our President of the United States, "Mr. Bush". Bush ran as a "Compassionate Conservative", a term created in late night AM radio to mean Democrat-Lite. He won a narrow victory that the media buried the details of after 911, but he was abandoned by his party in the wake of public opinion. The RNC "leadership" allowed his administration to be picked apart like a left over turkey. In short the Republicans ran for the tall grass and gave the sudo-majority of both houses to the Democrats. But it's not just Bush, it's Rove, Chenny, Lott and Delay now. The past is still real to those who feel Reagan, Nixon, and Goldwater were sold out for their honest Consevative ethics. McCain would have been a sitting duck in 00' and was an empty candidate up until he picked Sarah Palin. In that single pick he showed his true hand of Conservative value to his party. Since the Clinton Presidency diminshed the role of Commander in Chief as his impeachment did with the US House due to innaction in the US Senate. McCain has one single task if he seeks to become the 44th President of the United States of America, represent a positive conservative agenda that addresses ALL three major policy concerns through private sector reforms and government deregulation.
Liberalism on the other hand has a much simpler task be the last man standing, and in Hillary's case bring Bill. The three legs to the stool of this election are as follows the economy, national security, and entitlement spending. If Liberals can distact the voters, make the election about something else McCain they will win. Otherwise the election is about the agenda of Barrack Huesein Obama Jr. and Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. two of the most Liberal Senators ever.
The pick of Palin asures that both Presidencies would be historic, the only obvious wildcard and they will have to find someting to diminish her character because she is the heart of Conservatism, what every such voter seeks in a true public servant.
