The question itself implies much.
I think Movement Conservatives are not understanding that they need to do some outreach of their own. It’s not just McCain who’s got the popularity problem.
I really do think there’s a reasonable chance of a realignment on the right in the years ahead. I just don’t see guys like Crist accepting the current situation of takfiri politics where their only role is to say “yes sir.” They could be kept in line when Movement Conservatives were delivering wins, but we’re not in that place anymore.
I also look at the new evangelical leaders coming out, and they’re more like Hucakbee than Bush. This split will come later probably, but I don’t think evangelicals will be marching in lockstep with Movement Conservatism for much longer.

Can you expound on this?
