I haven't heard anybody suggest the death of conservatism. Far from it. Though if you think that winning two off year Governor elections, one in which the Dem didn't even show up and the other in which the Dem was bedeviled by negative media attacks and constant Republican Governor's Assoc. financed attack ads, is enough to forecast an impending Republican sweep in 2010 (of the type experienced in 1994) you're out of your mind.
How is it that Republicans like yourself put so much weight on the VA and NJ Governor's elections, where the issues were mostly local, and yet completely ignore the two House races which the Dems won including the NY one where the entire whacko right-wing leadership of the Republican Party put all their weight behind the Conservative Party candidate (to the point where they pushed out the official party candidate) and still lost. Shouldn't losing a seat that's been in Republican hands since the 19th Century be considered a huge loss for the likes of Sarah Palin when she practically lived in that district for the past few months?
