By not in system - AOL NewsDES MOINES, Iowa - A handful of high-profile Republicans who may be eyeing the White House told hundreds of conservative activists Saturday that most Americans agree with their values, and insisted that opposition to the president's health care overhaul could help the GOP make historic gains in 2012. Rep. Michele Bachmann, a tea party favorite, got the noisiest reception when she told about 500 people gathered in Des Moines that voters are ready to overturn the federal health care law and oust President Barack Obama during next year's election. Charlie Neibergall, AP Rep. Michele ...

Maverick Days Long Gone, McCain Among Most Conservative in Senate
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyOnetime maverick John McCain ties for the top spot as the most conservative senator in new rankings by the National Journal. Granted, he shares the billing with seven other Republican senators but it is still a far cry from his 2000 Republican presidential race when he was viewed as an unconventional alternative to George W. Bush. McCain tacked right in 2008 during his presidential campaign, and stayed there in his successful bid for reelection to the Senate in Arizona. He chose Sarah Palin as his running mate in the national campaign and insists that he's always been an across-the-board ...

Ronald Reagan at 100: A Mentor for Young Conservatives
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyHang out with some young conservatives and it won't be long before you find them talking about Ronald Reagan. This is noteworthy because anyone under the age of 22 was not even alive during Reagan's White House years, and those under 25 would not have any personal recollection of his presidency. Reagan was popular with younger voters when he was president, which made sense. He was the aspirational candidate with big dreams who ran against a Democratic president who complained about "a crisis of confidence" and "a growing doubt" among the American people. So, it was easy for young ...
