It was great to see the Republican base bring up support in the final months for John McCain. A gal from Alaska brought hope to the effort but, alas, victory was not achieved in the election. I do have to extend my congratulations to Barack Obama and his supporters. They did really run an excellent campaign. Whether you agree with them or not they did achieve what they set out to do. This also points out a great point in our history as a first black President of the United States was elected. I am sure there are black representatives out there that represent better ideals for our country, but this is Barack's moment.
What is next for conservatives? Some say that we have to get "more conservative" again. I just think we need someone who can reach everyone in the party. I hate to keep saying this but Ronald Reagan could appeal to everyone in the party. Some of us fellow party mates had a hard time swallowing John McCain. I never did. Sarah Palin did a lot of help with the campaign as well. I think we can all agree we need fresh blood back into the campaign. We need more Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, Adam Putnams of the world.
