Yep. My bad... intelligence? ;-)
I believe that the message to republicans is not that conservatism is undesirable, but that the extremes of conservatism are not places the country wants to go. The exact same message should be understood to apply to liberals/progressives/democrats. The people of this country have for the greatest part grown tired of polemics and greatly desire to find a "sweet spot" where we can find balance.
Well said. I wonder if the present situation is bad enough for our people to truly rebel against all the powers, political and otherwise, that have drawn power from divisiveness. I find myself wondering what is the best way to accomplish that. How does one rebel against divisiveness? It's easy to say that I reject those who preach "I'm right and you're wrong," but there hasn't seemed to have been much left. As you say, perhaps Obama is part of what remains, worthy of support.
