As you know, Skiz and I are inexhaustable.
In 2012 we will support a candidate who can win, and victory shouldn't be much of a reach.
If I were you, I'd worry about next year, and never mind the republicans - watch out for the conservatives.
BTW-
Glad to have you finally acknowledge your commie-hood; it allows a certain shorthand in posting.

Without going and picking through better articulated definitions than I can usually muster, and in my own experiences, there is quite a bit of difference.
In the past few years I don't even call myself a Republican, but a conservative (who more closely relates to the Republican party than the Democratic).
I don't believe in any organized religion. I'm an evolutionist. In my mind it's been clearly proven. That belief separates me from much of the core foundation and constituency of the Republican party. They also speak of conservatism with regard to spending and laws but have done a poor job at demonstrating it.
For example, the recent "stimulus" bill had the eyes of the country on it. It was a bill that was the largest ever passed by not only our country, but of any country ever, and it went through without being fully read by a single member of Congress. That bill should have been a no-brainer for Republicans. It was the first big bill by Obama and the Dems, it was nothing but a spending bill through and through which was riddled with earmarks. If ever there was an obvious bill for Republicans to take a stance on and demonstrate their "conservative" beliefs, this was it. They should have all voted against it. It was the perfect opportunity to separate themselves from the Dems in the spotlight of the country. It was their chance to put their foot down and reestablish the parties beliefs and better emphasis the excessive spending of the Dems.
But they didn't.
That is the difference in Repubs and conservatives.
If you need a living example, look no further than my own Governor.

And the conservatives are the one's that are pro family and take trips to Argentina to cheat on their wives, and the one's that are anti gay and go to public bathrooms looking for gay lovers? Ok, Ok now I know the difference.
The definition of conservatives is total hipocresy.
