HI, Urquhart. I am not sure how I implied those voting for Scozzafava, or even Owens for that matter, represented a total "rebuke of conservatism." I just don't see it as a total embrace of it either, if only Scozzafava hadn't been around to screw everything up.

You and I are actually spinning this one in the same direction and with about the same velocity. I think maybe you see a slightly greater degree of rotation having already occurred than myself but that is the only difference. I also do not assume the current spin will remain unchecked over the next twelve month. If Obama can blow his goodwill in a year, I am sure that Christie and McDonnell are also capable of it. Owens too.

Thanks for your reply.
