This has the "feel" of when John Kerry was "Swift-Boated". It's got momentum, and I don't think it's just going to go away. In a couple of weeks, McCain and his followers will come to terms with the fact that they're facing a loss and they will react.

I'm not sure how they'll react, but as soon as they realize they're going nowhere fast, they'll do something.

Maybe we will just have to win over even more of the center and cut the right out of the GOP entirely. A public disassociation of the extremists, particularly the anti-immigrant jihadis, will the best course of action.

You people are right. The GOP has learned its lesson from 2006: the party cannot count on the votes of the fringe so we will have to forge a new coalition - the McCain coalition. Good luck wandering in the wilderness for the next ...oh, forever or so.
