I believe it's important to understand Conservatism did not lose the election but rather the Republican party has lost it's way.
I will be looking for people like Bobby Jindal ( http://www.bobbyjindal.com/bobby/index.aspx ) the current Gov. of Louisiana to help refocus conservative principles in the Republican party. Keep an eye out for this guy!

The Future of the Right
By Philip Klein on 11.6.08
About two-dozen conservative leaders met today at the Stanley, Virginia home of Media Research Center President Brent Bozell in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains to discuss conservatism's future in the wake of Tuesday's election results.
Regnery said, "The consensus was that this was not a mandate for Democrats, that this country is still center-right. The overriding fear was that the Republican Party does not represent conservatives," and there was a desire to get behind genuinely conservative candidates.
One attendee said, "We're no longer going to support Republicans who want to 'improve' a bad bill. We're going to oppose all bad bills."
