I say they're marginalized because of the broad shift we saw in the Presidential election that was a direct slap at the more radical, Limbaugh-type conservatives, with even some traditionally red states turning blue. But in another sense, as you say, it's absolutely fair to say that it seems the conservative intellectuals are being marginalized as well.

But he's innefectual because he's sullied by the bad decisions that faltered conservative intellectual work. Sad but true. Its only people with clean hands like gov. of utah. john huntsman. who will be able to believably rebuild an effective conservative mind trust.

I really am fearful of which branch of the conservative world will win out in the coming years. Will it be the John Huntsmans, or the Sarah Palins?
