Ronald Reagan, there has been George Bush 41′s “kinder, gentler” conservatism, George Bush 43′s “compassionate conservatism” and now John McCain’s maverick conservatism.
One reason that Sarah Palin has reenergized the Republican base is that they now have a true conservative to rally around. In Alaska she has opposed tax increases, vetoed $286 million in state spending projects, and said it was time for the state to “grow up” and not be so dependent on the federal government.
Accompanied by her small-town roots and her conservative social and family values, Palin’s record on smaller government and reduced spending gives conservatives something to celebrate now and build on for the future.

Have you heard about the National Popular Vote Bill? It’s an effort to do an end-run around the Electoral College, requiring state electors to cast their ballots for the winner of the national popular vote. It is already signed into law by 4 states and 43 other state legislatures are considering it. When enough states sign to account for 270 electoral votes, it becomes the law.
