These guys have been promised something.
An audience with the President. A seat at the table. Considered input.
Just look at how Dobson and a couple other religious righties were consulted for final approval just before Miers was announced.
To me, that says these guys have lost their credibility, and no amount of cheerleading is going to get them back in the door.
No. Just as Dobson, Land and the others will continue to drink the koolaid, so will their followers.
This is more like " a family issue" rather than a character issue.
