#1 In times of war or national emergencies, study after study prove mainstream Americans, be they male or female, GOP Dem or other, want a strong MAN in the WH - Barring any "Amer Hiroshimas" andor Failed US mil actions in Iran andor North Korea-Taiwan, the GOP can still lose in 2008 iff they choose a candidate that makes Hillary = Patton!?

#4 The poll is deceptive, because there are really two kinds of conservatives. The vast majority are the "real conservatives", who are secular conservatives and just that, "conservative".

The minority are "moral conservatives", who are not true conservatives, in many ways being reactionary. On top of that, wanting a nostalgic return to a religious and mythological, instead of a real, past.

Unfortunately, this minority holds far more sway in the republican party than they should, at least enough to confuse polling results.

They are an embarassment to the real conservatives not because they are religious, but because they wish to incorporate their particular religious beliefs into government.

So who is the candidate most likely to succeed in the next presidential race? It's too early to tell, as anyone who steps forward now will get unrestrained attacks against them from several sides. Only after the mid-term elections will candidates come forward.

Don't bet on a senator winning, however.
