I've heard that EVERY single election since Reagan. We're still here.
The GOPe needs to know that their fear rhetoric doesn't work anymore. If they want votes, they need to run a conservative.
They also need to lay off the dirty tricks (Florida, Virginia) and badmouthing conservatives (Rove).

BINGO.
Fair enough, and a point that I’ve made myself more than once: it’s not the job of the voters to please the party, it’s the job of the party to attract the voters.
But my question was a little bit different. It’s this: what are we going to do about it? It may be that you view this election as no different than any other, I respectfully disagree. I hope you’re right.
But specifically, what does the crunchy purist do? (I’ll count myself among that company.) The best I’ve been able to figure out is what I alluded to in the post above, but suggestions would be appreciated as well.
