We'll just have to see who the candidates are and who seems like they would do the best job when we know a bit more. I do believe that they have been speculating on who would run next time MUCH earlier than ever before. Is that an indication that people are ready for a change? We've got another 3 years ...

ETA: A large number of Democrats voted for Reagan and he was conservative too. Perhaps conservative isn't what scares people... the Christian right is? And we now are defining conservative as the extreme Christian right, not the "less government" stance. I feel like Dubya has imposed more government which infringes on personal rights that should be nobody else's business. Those of us in Michigan also have a different perspective than the rest of the country because our unemployment numbers continue to rise as the auto industry struggles. The announcement of a loss of 3000 GM employees in Michigan was figured to equal 30,000 jobs total .. from suppliers, retail, etc that are all dependent on those auto workers making cars.
