The vote for Virginia's governor is all wrapped up, and McDonnell (Republican) won with ease. In New Jersey, and remember it is a very liberal state, Chris Christie (Republican) pulled off the win. And these guys are conservative Republicans, winning in areas where it is obvious the independents voted GOP along with the Republicans.
Is this a sign of a GOP comeback?
I don't know, but it is a clear message of discontent with the Democrats.
Did you notice something? The Republicans won as conservatives, not as moderates or liberals. The left says that if the GOP is to have a chance they need the moderates - and that is false. Conservatism wins, if presented as conservatism should be presented - factually.
Moderates, or independents, are not conservative or liberal, but we must also remember they are not an ideology. Republicans have been losing because of the moderates in the party - it makes the GOP look like liberal-light. With no clear message, there is no clear reason for non-conservatives to consider a GOP candidate.
Conservatism (limited government, supporting life and tradition, peace through strength, lower taxes, less spending) is a winning ticket - but it must not be muddied by liberalism.
Now all we have to do is wait for New York's District 23 where the conservative (Doug Hoffman) is neck and neck with the Democrat (Owens) with about half the precincts reporting.
And don't forget California District 10, near Pelosi's San Francisco district. Tonight is also a vote there, and the Republican's chances are looking good. (UPDATE on District 10: Garamendi (Democrat) won, but the Republican made a better showing than expected.)
This is the response of the incompetence of the Democrats, and the GOP moving away from the neo-con, moderate big-tent idiots.
