What do you see as the future of "conservatives"? [View all]

I am not referring to a new generation. I am referring to this generation--your Eric Cantors, Allen Wests, Paul Ryans, Peter Kings, and so forth. Will these people moderate? It is difficult to conceive of them being more radical, but do you see them getting more radical? Do you think there is any chance of reasoning with them and negotiating with them and coming to any kind of rapprochement with them?
