Edwards will draw from both sides. Team him up with Alan Keyes. I like Keyes more than Obama or McCain. Keyes placates some Republicans and maybe a few Blacks. Edwards always had the right message about the economy. Compromise! THIRD PARTY! Edwards will draw from both sides. Team him up with Alan Keyes. I like Keyes more than Obama or McCain.

There is no way the ultra-conservatives are going to vote for Hillary or Obama. Dobson is just upset that the ultra-conservative right wing has lost some of its grip on the Republican party...and it's about time. The whole "fractured party" argument is silly.

He has not been elected by conservaties or anyone else to speak for them. Sen McCain is the most conservative of the candidates, and we must remember that. It is our own fault, we conservatives, that we have not persuaded more Americans to join our way of thinking. There is no way conservatism can get anything done in Congress, now that it is mostly liberal and moderate. McCain is the best chance we have of a toehold in the US government, the way we have let it slide away from us. Dr Dobson has had a large part in the demise of conservatism in our country. Many of us believe as he does, but we don't support publicly denouncing everything/everyone we do not agree with, as he does. Actually, Dr Dobson speaks only for himself.
