I have been examining if the new "Tea Party" supported candidates will make a Conscience Conservative difference once they enter office. I looked first at Nikki Haley, Governor-elect of South Carolina, and determined that she appears as much a Unconscious Conservative or Liberal as she does a Conscious Conservative.
I now look at Wisconsin's Senator-elect, Ron Johnson to see how he stacks up as a Conscious Conservative.
Stance:
Reducing Taxes/Cutting Spending Conscious Conservative
Repeal Government Health Care Conscious Conservative
Increase Domestic Energy Production Unconscious Conservative
Reduce Federal Education Mandates Unconscious Conservative
Supporting Free Trade in Agriculture Conscious Conservative
Ron Johnson appears to be a Conscious Conservative with some unconscious conservative leanings. If he can make alliances in the Senate, he may make a Conscious Conservative difference.
