No, I pretty clearly identified those as "swing voters" in my analogy above. Perhaps you should go back and reread my comments.
Despite that, you confidently declare the "conservative party" fractured. Lets push your logic to the limit. Lets say 5% of Freepers are for and 5% against with 90% undecided. According to your logic, that means the party is "fractured". I mean, that is a 50/50 split. We're doomed.
Sorry, but this extreme example doesn't work. It isn't 5%-5%; it's 35%-27%. The two are not the same, no matter how much you wish they were.
Well, see that is the problem with joining a thread very late and not reading enough of it to make a useful contribution. It is kind of like jumping into the end of a discussion and blurting out a point that was already made hours ago. I suggest you read the whole thread. Your question has already been addressed.
I have read from the top of the thread. But perhaps I missed your definition of "conservative party" - please provide the comment in which it was made.
You are correct. But if your logic was sound it would. When close to half of FreeRepublic has not decided where they stand on the issue, you cannot say there is a fracture. Talk to me when the largest percent of the vote doesn't fall under the category of "undecided".

Yeah, when I went back to retrieve my response for AndyJackson, I noticed you've been here all along. I overestimated your powers of comprehension and retention. See my response to AndyJackson for the answer to your question.
