With the prospect of a Democratic Party victory appearing more and more likely, many conservatives are looking for a “silver bullet” to snatch victory.
The Wall Street Journal has come up with an interesting idea but I think it probably won’t work.
In an editorial titled, Conservative Canada, John McCain take note, the Journal points to this week’s re-election win of Conservative Prime Minister Steven Harper.

A problem for the Republicans trying to emulate Harper’s win is that the Conservatives won the election with 38% of the vote against 3 more liberal parties.
I don’t think even Justice Scalia can come up with a ruling to let the Republicans win with less than 40%!
