Hope for Republicans in 2008?

There are many indicators which help give pundits and pollsters an idea of which party may be more successful in an election cycle. One such indicator is party affiliation. Simply asking survey participants to identify their political party of choice and then looking at the trends often gives an indication of the mood of the electorate.

Prior to the 2006 elections, those identifying themselves as Republican took a nose dive, while Democrat identification went up. We all know how that election turned out. However, some recent indicators suggest that the tide may be turning. Perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel?

There is definitely hope for Republicans in 2008. If Republican leaders stick to conservative principles, you can bet that party identification will continue to rise. But there are many roadblocks and potential pitfalls along the way. We have to get through the primary election cycle and rally around the nominee. Any splintering or talk of a third-party or independent run by a Republican will mean that the Democrats will win the White House. Legislatively, we must push for smaller government, lower taxes, and secure borders. Show real results in those areas, and we can win.

Yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It's either daylight in the realization that Republican leaders have seen the error of their ways from 2006 or it's another train heading in our direction. My hope is that it's the former, with conservative principles guiding the way.

Eberle must be using a lot of pig grease for his spin
