With Republicans being fed an early Thanksgiving electoral dinner by Democrats this year, the question is what's next? 

This election was a definite set back for Republicans, but by no means is it the end of the Republican party.  In fact, this could be a very positive election for our nation's conservative agenda.  It may sound contradictory to common sense to maintain that position yet there are several key reasons why this might be very accurate.

The first key reason is that Democrats are under the impression that their victory was due to anti-Bush sentiment.  As was stated on RightBright in "The Big Vote" people were not voting against Bush, they were voting for clear, strong, and true conservative leadership.  An example is that Democrats think that this election means Americans are against the War on Terror.  That is dead wrong, and if they try to pull out or continue to play politics on this they will lose everything in 2008 and more.  Why?  People wanted better leadership, not cut and run.  They want to see results, not negotiations.  Americans and conservatives are tired of dealing with a corrupt UN who placates to the rogue nations trying to murder our citizens.  They're tired of North Korea and Iran flaunting illegal nuclear capabilities without repercussion.  What Americans want is a leader that will take significant decisive action with results that everyone will respect including our enemies.

The second key reason is immigration.  Republicans simply need to take a tough conservative position regarding our borders.  Again, most of our Country wants strong border security keeping illegal aliens, illegal drugs, human traffickers, and terrorist out of our country.  If Republicans fight for this they can win the next election.  It really could be that simple.

The dust has been kicked up and where it will settle is still not known.  However, the current leadership roles that have been filled by Republicans have indicated that the party has not learned and is content to stay the course.  If this holds true Republicans will lose more seats in the House and Senate and the Presidency in 2008.  If they decide to go back to advocating strong conservative values and leadership Americans will easily see a new swing towards the Republicans in 2008.  It really is not a complicated formula for Republicans and is why this past election could be a positive outcome for the Republican Party's future.
