Thanks for the link to the NR article.
However:
"They also note later in the story that "A Pew Research Center poll last month found that 97 percent of conservative Republicans favored Bush over Kerry."
That means that 3% don't. In a close election, that may be a deciding factor putting Kerry into the White House -- God forbid!
What are the numbers of self-described whatevers who didn't vote for their natural candidate in previous elections?
3% actually seems remarkably low to me. In fact, given margins of error, it may be statistically indistinguishable from zero.

That 3% probably won't be able to find it's way to a polling place. :^)
