Sean Malstrom has one of the best (if not the best) election analysis I have read to date, especially if you are sick of hearing about Barack Obama's pending coronation. He comes up with a term - the aforementioned ‘Broken Glass Conservatives’ - which I think describes many on the Right to a "t", and also explains why McCain can win tonight:
One of the reasons why Democrats lost the elections of 2002, 2004, and won in 2006 so handily is the appearance (and disappearance) of the phenomenon I refer to as ‘Broken Glass Conservatives’. Conservatives are generally apathetic and have been lately about their candidates. While Bush was a Republican, he was not a conservative. He was conservative on a few things, the things that mattered most to conservatives (foreign policy, judges, taxes), but Bush has no interest in the conservative movement and doesn’t want to ‘lead’ it unlike Reagan.
So conservative support for Republican candidates have been very soft (as illustrated in 2006). But if a Democrat or the legacy media (who conservatives believe are the same) insult or attack conservatives or what they believe, the result is ‘broken glass conservatives’ meaning the apathetic, soft Republican (or Democrat) conservative suddenly turns enraged and will literally walk over ‘broken glass’, if need be, to vote.
In 2008, there are more phenomenons of the ‘Broken Glass Conservatives’ than I have ever seen…
And that's why even in deep red states, the turnout is high. Just because they don't count us, does not mean we do not count....

If the elitist illuminati in Congress and Obama keep going how they have, it will only get worse once it's time to vote again. So I am sure the conservatives can defeat them next time.
