if you mean conservative as in proponents of smaller, less intrusive, fiscally responsible, stay-out-of-people's-lives, state's-rights government, you're probably right. but if you're talking about the current generation of wingnut conservatives, who want to protect us all from gays, science, and flag-burners, i don't think so.
by next election, i'd like to think the electorate will have learned that "moral values" don't mean much coming from fundamentally incompetent and largely corrupt leaders. i'd settle for a competent and reasonably principled centrist from either party.
