I guess if that history is limited to his father then you could be right but real history bodes well for GW and the GOP. These folks around here calling themselves he "base" are in deep denial. Their definition of "base" was factored out in 1996 when they sat on their hands and let Dole lose to Clinton. After they did it in 92 with Perot and the 2 million that sat at home in 2000 they were written off completely. There is a new "base" in town and it is not the one the FR unappeasables are talking about.
But you are correct, I think (hope?) the "Conservative" nature of the "moment of truth" in the polling booth will carry the day. The marginalization of the "base" has been factored in. I'm seeing alot of Dean Bumper Stickers, but this is CA.
I am really worried about Florida, though. I just don't think it's the "lock" people think it is, due in part, to the "Radicalization" of the Granny set, which the Demos have done well.
Geeze, I can't type anymore. Need rest. I must go and bow before the Shrine of the Bushbot, check my messages from M.E.Ch.A., send a transcipt of this to the Illuminati and hit the rack.
Later, Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure.
