Image what would happen if the Southern/Reagan/Bluedog Democrats [who helped elect Reagan, for example] and the R-conservatives decided to work together for 08.

Reagan Democrats fear and loathe Dobsonites and Schiavo savers.

I'm not sure that's true -- perhaps you have some insight or better information than I do, but it's my impression from personal contacts and discussions that the people who really fear Rev. Dobson, Jerry Falwell, and people like them are the very well-educated, modestly upscale (in their tastes, anyway) National Public Radio audience. Many are academics or connected with the academic life and society somehow, and many of them in particular are scientific materialists who have left middle-class religious experiences behind, who in college traded in their childhood catechism lessons for readings in literary criticism, philosophy, and history retold from a Marxian or materialist point-of-view.
