  This is an example of sloppy language. Many "Conservatives" have quit the Republican Party because the New Bush Republicans are no longer "Conservative" in the classic sense.
  
  So this headline is misleading. It should read, "Bush Republicans fearful as election draws near" - because those are the "base" that McCain/Palin has allowed their former Bush campaign manager to cater to.
  
  Read yesterday's post for several examples of REAL conservatives - philosophical ones, not brand name ones - who have jumped ship on McCain for _betraying_ Conservatism.
  
  And read today's for conservative icon Colin Powell's similar move.
