My guess is that either Giuliani, Romney or Thompson can pick up a significant number of mushies.

Unfortunately, I must disagree. The way the Republicans lose every-single-time-they-lose is because the base walks. They can never make up the loss of the base with the independents they pick up.

This is turning into another "broken glass" election where the conservatives are supposed to BOHICA. I am pretty certain that will not work. The base was weak last election but the GOP leadership didn't get the clue. This time the base will walk if a RINO is the candidate. it will be a slaughter.

The party would do well to look to the base- To stand for the things it used to. Voting against hillary is not a reason to vote for whatever the RNC throws up.

What percentage of the vote required to elect the President is represented by “the base”?

And what is “the base” willing to do to get to 51?

The question is what is the base? The GOP certainly doesn't consider Conservatives the base since they have already abandon Conservative principles.
