offers no indication as to how he would pay for the unpopular parts, such as the universal mandate that pays for the good parts. Most viewers probably thought, as I did, that Romney hogged more time in this
largely free-flowing debate. Yet, it turned out that Obama grabbed almost 4 1/2 minutes more than Romney, according to a political website at the University of Minnesota. Who would have guessed? Yet Romney managed to squeeze in 541 more words, according to the Atlantic Wire. In short, Rom-

conservative — suggests that the Republican Party actually can be led, and that its politicians don’t have to be prisoners of talking points and groupthink. Indeed, the party actually may be ripe for such leadership. Cut through the Kabuki narratives on the contemporary right — the grass-roots versus the establishment, the True Conservatives versus the RINOs — and you’ll find that what conservatism actually stands for, issue by issue and policy by policy, is
