All the other major Republican factions showed up in numbers as good as they had in the election McCain lost.

Then the simple truth is that there are a lot more votes to gain by moving further to the left than loosing those centrist votes and moving strongly to the right. The God vote will never elect another president. Way to many people in the center will not side with that faction. This is not a right or wrong judgment just pure numbers. If what you say is true then it proves that the numbers are not there on the right to elect a president without the substantial support of many more moderates. There are simply many more voters who are someplace in the middle than either far right or far left. I believe that the far right caused Romney to loose. They were so busy trying to nail him to a cross because he didn't sit behind them in their church and say their own version of God words that they tore him up publicly and then sat this election out. They were the spoiler. No doubt they can do that as the party sits now. It looks like Rove is trying to change that to me and I believe he will get it done.

I stated that the far right would cost Romney the election way before last Nov. I stated clearly and repeatedly, on this board, that those on the right who refused to support Romney were insuring the reelection of Obama. I said it to the point of being threatened with being kicked off of this board and I was totally and completely correct.

In American politics ideological considerations are spread out over a bi-modal saddle ~ and involve thousands of factions. The left/right doctrine simply doesn't apply.

There are 90 million adults who have not registered to vote. That's where you need to go looking for the natural Republicans or Conservatives ~ and get them registered and get them to vote.

There's no repository of leftwing voters to be had.
