I hope so, dearest sister in Christ! But from my perch in Massachusetts, I'm not exactly holding my breath. The GOP "eats their own": See the dispute between David Frum and David Horowitz, for instance; or the one between Michael Steele et al. and Glenn Beck.
However, lately I'm increasingly coming to believe that the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law effectively made organized political parties irrelevant. In elections, the "real action" — financial and ideological — has devolved into the hands of "non-profit, non-partisan" private organizations which have zillions of ways to accumulate and move money around outside the direct purview of the FEC. They can collaborate and pool funds in selected races in ways forbidden to the official, organized parties.
Whatever the case, my prediction is the GOP can never recover, unless it re-embraces its conservative, largely Christian core. I figure they need us more than we need them.
As you can see, I'm feeling rather bitter about this situation. But then, the GOP has the magnificent reputation of always finding a way to shoot itself in its own foot.
They likely will not succeed in Massachusetts in the next decade, but I believe they can recover the states they lost in the last general election by 2012.
But only if they actually pay attention. And they must start proving they are listening for 2010.
Thank you for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
