SANTA BARBARA — They're more clean-cut than most campus crowds, and better dressed. They aren't crazy about affirmative action, Roe vs. Wade, or Tuesday's election results.
Some 500 college conservatives are in town for the weekend from across the U.S. for a political jump-start in the wake of a national Republican drubbing.

Michael Reagan, son of the late president and a conservative talk-show host, told the crowd at Fess Parker's Doubletree Resort, a beachfront hotel, that many of the Republicans who lost Tuesday had brought defeat upon themselves.
"The Republican Party was held accountable for walking away from the ideals and values that got them elected — the ideals of my father," he said. "It's up to you to bring them back."
"We need to pray for Nancy Pelosi, for John Conyers, for Henry Waxman," he said. "If we don't, how are we to know that things won't get worse in this world that we live in?"

"One who knows when he can fight, and when he cannot fight, will be victorious.
"One who recognizes how to employ large and small numbers will be victorious.
"One whose upper and lower ranks have the same desires will be victorious.

One who, fully prepared, awaits the unprepared will be victorious."One whose general is capable and not interfered with by the ruler will be victorious.
