The "base" was most certainly not the ones who abandoned the battlefield and left the fight to the rest. You've put your finger on exactly why this article made me so mad. There are many of us who fit your description of 'the base' perfectly, who are now being demonized out of hand and being slimed with the same brush as Buchanan. All because we believe that the candidacy of AS is going way too far. So far that are not able to support him.
This candidacy is a disaster for the GOP.

California has a greater numbner of registered Democrats than registered Republicans, it's the most liberal State in the Union.
Someday, perhaps, there will a possibility of a conservative of McClintock's ideology making a run at the governor's chair, but not right now.
The pendulum has to swing through the center before it swings to either extreme.
Like in national politics, it is imperative that we get the pendulum to slow down the swing to the left, stop, then begin its swing to the right.
