I am pretty sure the rino GOP establishment is toast. Talking to folks around here - they are disgusted with the GOP. These are conservative base people. Republicans are heading for a 2008 like disaster again. Most of us conservatives will not vote for one socialist over another simply because they have an r next to their name.
From the looks of it the evil one in the white house will probably win power back.
He certainly will if the Republican Establishment foists Precious Willard on us at the convention.
