People reference poll numbers, his campaign strategy or production, and question his drive or desire. There are comments about all things political, and that is the misplaced emphasis in this presidential campaign ….. concentration on “form” or “politics.” While those following the presidential race want to follow the “politics” of things, and watch the “horse race,” they overlook the most important factor that should be the basis for supporting a candidate, and that which will be the most important reason for a victory in the general election, the candidate’s “substance,” or “policy” and record. The form over substance mentality is exactly what allows the deterioration of, and movement away from, conservatism. Conservatives believe a conservative message will defeat any Democrat; if they did not believe that they would not be looking for the most conservative candidate and the candidates would not be trying to claim that title. Therefore, substance should trump form; “policy” should win over “politics,” and the latter will ultimately follow the former. But, by focusing on “politics,” and overlooking “policy,” people are looking past the shining star staring them in the face; they are so worried about losing to Democrats they are failing to see the one candidate that can prevent that fear from becoming a reality...."

I mean, its not like they are running for pope." Couldn't agree more, enough already. Thompson needs more to keep the attention and news on him instead of having all the air sucked up by the romney vs. huckster crud the good debate performance and good performance on Kudlow is a start but it'll take more then that I think. Keeping my fingers crossed. “Personally, all the religious talk this election is making me a bit dizzy and sick. I mean, its not like they are running for pope.”

We may be <b>created</b> equal but there is no guarantee of equal outcome. This nation promises equal opportunity. That is equal opportunity to succeed AND an equal opportunity to fail. The issue at hand is do we reward failure? The Democratic solution to everything is to reward failure and punish success. This is a recipe for total failure for all of us. That is the battle we are waging. If the Huck wants Conservatives to vote for him, he's going to need more than appealing to Evangelicals. I for one am NOT and evangelical. But I am a Christian.

However, this year the religious endorsements are quite divided, leaving the electorates on their own to decide. I would agree that it was very important in 2000, however I think the main factor getting Bush elected in 2004 was 9/11. I think it shuffled a lot of people's priorities. The question is how strong the war on terrorism's influence is vs. the religion factor. Personally, all the religious talk this election is making me a bit dizzy and sick.

The Rush audio clip is amazing. I wish he would break from his policy of non-endorsement and give Fred an extra shove to the top. The key thing conservatives need to remember is that GWB won in 2000 and 2004 by convincing the apathetic evangelical voters to show up at the polls. Stop trying to win moderates or independents, those weren't the ones who turned out the vote for GWB. Huckabee's campaign is capitalizing on this strategy by touting his Christian values. Thompson will have to convince those same voters that his federalist positions are also representative of evangelicals. Great wrap up, Jay. The Rush audio clip is amazing.
