Washington Times has a story: Delay: Long rebuilding process for GOP
Aims to get conservative groups to collaborate, by Stephen Dinan, Monday June 9, 2008
Delay's position is that an Obama candidacy will energize Republicans but would set the country back thirty years concering judicial picks to higher courts. But he has also stated that McCain is strong enough on basic Conservative issues that the party would have something to build on.
We can only hope that McCain wins which would enable Conservatives to reshape the Republican Party over the next two to four years while keeping the Democrat House & Senate at bay... an Obama presidency would energize the party but would set back any real movement in Conservative government where it would be more difficult to get things done later.
McCain has two years to prove himself to Conservatives to the party. If he keeps his promises on ear marks, judicial picks, a border fense first, and other important basic issues that Conservatives are primarily concerned about, then the Conservative movement can work independently within the Republican Party and move forward...
He doesn't even need to be successful going head to head with a Democrat House & Senate,
But if he doesn't follow through on his conservative promises then he will be a lame duck by 2010.
My bet is that he will stand next to the promises of his campaign which will bolster Conservatives and give them issues to run on in 2010 and 2012, if he does: the party and Conservatives will move forward, if not: He Loses!
His rhetoric is RINO but he MUST govern Conservatively or else he will be powerless in two years after winning the White House. A McCain White House will be better in the long haul for the Conservative movement than an Obama White House. We have to bet on McCain!
Let Conservatives use McCain how he has used his party! Let's move forward!
