Message only goes so far (perhaps election 2000 proves this wrong). Or, to put it another way, ideals transmitted through the proper message is the ultimate poltical tool.

Real conservatives despise Bush. If Bush wins reelection, there will only be two terms of the neo-cons running things. You'll see a group on the right rail against the neo-cons, either in the primary or as a third party in the general election (and I don't mean the Libertarians).

I'm not trying to sell message only. I'm just trying to get at the fact that we lose for a reason. And it's not a conspiracy. We have to better uderstand the game and equip ourselves to play in it.
