Hillary will expand the pie - she'll take the party faithful - she'll take the blue states that Obama isn't winning and Senator McCain is. Do you really think the blue states will come through for him? Do you really think the red states will come through for Senator Obama? Answer: of course not. Especially with this new deflation taking place around the once-proud conservative Republicanic Party. This guy explains the opposition pretty well:
Hannity & Gingrich, Conservatives In “Exile”
Another day, another whine from conservative talk radio. Hannity and Speaker Newt Gringrich were talking today about how they are now “conservatives in exile” - which means they no longer consider themselves Republicans. Clearly they see something not apparent to the rest of regarding the fortunes of the hyper-right in this nation. Why else basically declare they have been defeated in terms of dictating the path of the GOP? Why go in ‘exile’ unless it is clear that they have destroyed their cause and no longer represent the formative views of the GOP?
He then goes on to say a bunch of stuff I can't endorse so I'm gonna refrain from posting it here. But his point is well taken: the right is beaten. Beaten by their own Party no less! By the way, I Googled "conservatives in exile" and found Kenneth Baer addressed the topic in Feb of 2001 in the groundbreakin Slate magazine. Anway, my point is the title of the post.
