Maybe we can clean the GOP, maybe we can’t, but we’ll never find out if Obama wins.

I agree, which is why I voted for McCain yesterday. After this year, if the GOP continues to give us non-conservative candidates, I will be done with them as a whole, once and for all. I've said it in the past, but that was before Obama was the Dem nominee. I have not donated any money to the GOP as a whole (did to a few local Republican candidates) and my wife and I did not volunteer for any election-related activities this time around.

I've gotten probably two dozen phone calls and emails asking for money, and every one them, I've politely (but sternly) explained that the GOP is going places that I have no desire to go. Many other FReepers have done the same, but I think it'll take a few more years before the GOP understands the mistakes they are making.

On the one hand, the GOP needs to lose a major election by a large margin to understand that they are losing Conservatives, but on the other, my gut says the GOP leadership will feel like they weren't "moderate" (liberal) enough and will simply move further to the left.
