It’s so hard to find intelligent conservatives online that I’m sometimes tempted to play the role, for the sake of discussion. I refrain from doing so because I think I’d play it poorly.
Thing is, most conservatives with a working brain voted Democrat in the past two presidential elections in the US. Sadly, I believe Obama’s election in 2008 wouldn’t have been possible with a decent ticket on the other side. McCain was okay, but Palin was way too bonkers for many conservatives.
