An author and editor believes conservatives probably don't realize just how difficult it might be to recover from the Barack Obama election victory.

Quin Hillyer is an associate editor at the Washington Examiner and senior editor of The American Spectator. He says the day after the big defeat, the conservative chatter was that the Obama election would allow Republicans and conservatives the chance to draw a sharp contrast with the Obama/Reid/Pelosi triumvirate, rally the faithful, and re-storm the castle in 2010 and 2012.
 
But in a column entitled "Saul Alinsky takes the White House," Hillyer writes: "Fat chance."
 
"Saul Alinsky wrote something called Rules for Radicals -- which, by the way, was dedicated to Lucifer as the world's first radical," Hillyer notes. "[Alinsky argued that] you take power and then you change the rules so that once you've got power, it's very tough to get it away from you."
 
Hillyer says the Obama administration can change the rules in a number of ways, including empowering groups like ACORN -- the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which was at the center of much pre-election debate about alleged voter fraud.
 
"Now that [Obama's] in power, they will -- I'm sure -- change the election laws even more to make it even easier to register people and to let people vote without proper identification," he explains. "They basically rig things at the ballot box -- that's number one. Number two, they will use the power of the state."
 
According to Hillyer, that involves using regulatory agencies like the Internal Revenue Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and even the Justice Department to crack down on the administration's enemies.
