Then they're politically tone deaf. Because 2006 had next to nothing to do with social conservatism. It was about corruption, scandal and a war the American people have lost the stomach to even watch (Lord know, they're not the ones fighting it).
A bastardized, liberalized GOP should fix that right up, though. You betcha.
While social conservatism wasnt the reason for the 2006 loss, the GOP started heading south after the Terry Schaivo disaster...That incident really hurt the GOP in the westtern USA and with suburban voters...
Afterwards fact that Randall Terry lost, Charlie Crist won and the judge from Sarasota won should tell us just how thin the Terry Schaivo pro-lifers popularity was
